Most companies fall over themselves to give them away because they make their money from the test strips. Its a bit cheeky but I always ring them and ask for a free one. Always works and I'm on my 4th meter now.

Hello jsberry.

You could try ringing roche customer careline .
As it is roche that make and supply the accu-check meters.

Your profile says that you are a type1 so you shouldnt have any problems
if this be the case.

I have 2 accu-check meters but love my 'nano' meter the most :thumbup:

Ask about the mobile as supply price isn't a problem it's the most convenient portable meter ever
