I decided to go with the Accu Chek Guide. A lot of things about it appealed to me, but the biggest one is strip price. Roche offers a discount card that allows the purchase of strips for an inexpensive cost without the need for insurance. 50 strips for $19.99 USD, 100 for $29.99, $200 for $49.99...

I've downed my choices to two meters, and I am going to be purchasing one tomorrow after getting the prescription called in. I've whittled it down to either the Contour Next One or the Accu Chek Guide. Both have the Bluetooth syncing I'm after. Bayer test strips are cheap and plentiful to find...

I'm more focused on accuracy and cost. I carry so many things with me when I travel that size isn't an issue. My vision is nearly 20/20 so I don't need to take screen size into consideration either. Thank you for the response though. It is very important to realize that a lot goes into finding...

I have realized that a box of 50 test strips for the meter I got the first day of my diagnosis is nearly $50 USD. This is completely unacceptable to me, especially since the meter itself doesn't have that good of reviews. I'm curious, in everyone's honest opinion, what is the best glucometer...

Thank you all for the warm welcome and the advice! I'll admit, I'm still new to what all of these numbers and things mean, but I'm sure I'll get used to it in time. The hardest part about this for me is going to be the diet. But I love protein more than anything else, and various types of fish...

Well, this is not a forum I was ever expecting nor hoping to join. But that in no way has to do with the strong and wonderful people on it. My name is Jacob McNeel, and I am a 24 year old male living in the United States. I am about to graduate college with my second degree, and I just took a...
