timo2 said:That's a pretty good deal on the Accu Chek, Graham. You should go into business on Ebay.
Check out this entry on "evergreening" from Scott Strumello's excellent blog. There's an estimated 900% markup on the manufacturing cost of test strips. :shock:

Stay out of trouble,
timo.
Thanks for the link Timo, my intrepid Duck code name 00Q special agent with the D.I.A. came up with the same as phoenix ( get a duck phoenix much easier). I pulled this quote out which says a lot about the money involved
http://www.diabetesmine.com/2007/10/the ... ng-co.htmlThe US market for diabetic patient monitoring systems is expected to reach $9.1 Billion by 2010. Current market leader Roche Diagnostics makes a whopping $1Billion gross annual profit from its diabetes division alone, with the majority of that money coming from disposable supplies like test strips.
Keeping out of trouble at the darkside of diabetes were we have cookies :twisted: .
Cheers
Graham
