I can personally confirm that I already received both my glucose meter along with USB cable AND 25 FREE testing strips. The strips alone cost about $20-$25 for the bottle and the meter ranges in price between $20-$40 dollars.

Sign-up, and a few days later you will get an e-mail confirming your order was sent out!

Good Luck!

P.S. Please do not abuse the offer....some folks really need a meter and strips and this a great way to at least try it out.;) Oh and BTW, if any of you are thinking of turning around and selling this FREE offer both the box and bottle say NOT FOR RESALE! :omg:

This post can and should be edited by users like you :)

COME ON OP, YOU CAN'T TELL THEM NOT TO ABUSE THIS IN ONE SENTENCE AND THEN POST THE VALUE IN THE NEXT. PULL DOWN THIS POST BEFORE THE COMPANY CATCHES ON AND ENDS THE GIVEAWAY. THE SITE IS LOCKED UP SOLID ALREADY.
THIS HAS NO PLACE ON SLICKDEALS.

I agree with you 100%, it's already screwed up for those of us that got the offer legit. I cannot get through and got it legitimately. It should be pulled down.

The original poster meant that this would have cost thus and so dollars for people who do need this stuff but have a limited purse for such outlays. Lighten up.

Lighten up? Greedy ebayers are ensuring those that need it are not getting it thanks to this thread. The system is overloaded.

"BAD KARMA" WILL HIT THOSE WHO SELL IT ON EBAY/CL.

Thanks! I was just hunting for some good deals on a glucose meter and A1c meter.. One down, one to go :-)
Thanks!

You're Welcome....I am newly diagnosed and and with the number of meters out there to pick from, its madness as well as very expensive!

After doing some research, this one seemed the best for me! Good diabetes management software is included. Don't use the disk provided though....go to the Bayer website and download the newest version. Also make sure you've updated your Java software as well!

PM me if you have any additional questions or concerns!

Iggy

I've had this meter for 2-3 years. They used to be free instore. The big plus, rechargable.

There's some serious variation between meters. Using the same blood sample, I've seen this meter and another brand be off by 50.

I hear you on this issue....apparently Bayer has fixed this problem. They now claim its within 20% variance at testing time. Of course there are many factors that led to wild readings with any meter such as not washing your hands thoroughly, not applying your test blood immediately after you've pricked your finger, etc...

Of course, I too like the rechargeable feature its great! The software is also on the USB drive so you can install it elsewhere. Don't forget, there is also a separate partition to use as a generic jump drive to save doc, video, mp3s as well!

Just my two cents...

TU and repped.
I have had type 1 diabetus 25 years now. This appears to be a great meter, especially with the rechargeable battery which I guess charges through a computer or maybe even a cell phone charger (plug the meter into the USB port on the wall charger?).

I won't be getting this because the meters I have now are wireless and talk to my insulin pump when I test my BS level. I hope all type one diabetics move to a pump, and one that has this awesome wireless technology. The pump was a dramatic change in care for me and I cannot imagine having the diabetus without it.

While I don't take insulin, they do have a version of this meter that wireless transmits insulin dosages levels to you.

Check this out: http://www.bayercontour.com/Blood...-Next-Link

Ohh snap!! That's my pump right on the page you posted (Hmm, I don't think I have the Revel pump, but I might be able to upgrade). Some good stuff.
I use this one, look at the size of it compared to the Bayer one!

http://www.onetouch.com/professio...-ultralink

How discreet is the packaging and/or labeling?

Your meter seems a bit larger? Looks like the Bayer Contour Next meter is similar to the one I have but for insulin management!

If you mean the box you get in the mail? Its a nondescript plain white box with a return address from Bayer and of course your address!

Good job OP this a great find! Normally I would jump on this since it's free but I hate to be taking from someone who needs it.

I really needed one. I get following error when submitting:

An error has occurred, please try again later

20% either way is 160 - 240 when you are 200.

yup.. SD effect although OP requested not to abuse the offer but I guess greedyEbayer isn't listening

Keep on getting an error. Any body else having troubles?

Try this direct link:

https://offers.bayerdiabetes.com/...quest.aspx

For those of you who need a meter but can't get one through the link, CVS is having them on sale free after Extra Care Bucks starting 1/6.

$9.99 ECB WYB Bayer A1C Now, Contour, Contour USB, or Contour next EZ Blood Glucose Monitoring System, $9.99, limit 1

There are also some printables out there to make it a better deal.

Yeah, I've got a cheap Walgreen meter as a back-up and if I feel my reading with this meter is REALLY off, I test with that one, and its typically within a few points. Rarely do I get a wild reading....if I do, its because I forgot to wash my hands and/or I let my sample blood stay on my finger for longer than a few seconds.

same message

Try the additional link I provided in my OP.

bayors site is getting hammered right now. 1000 people trying to order one at once probably lol

Wait. Is it all that stuff for $9.99? The A1C kit alone would rock for that.

Diagnosed pre diabetic and told to return to dr. in eight weeks. A colleague has been testing me at work, but this would give me the option to test at home. Thanks so much,

Yeah....I was hoping that wouldn't happen! I was very reluctant to put this 'deal' up but I figured at least a few more folks needing a meter could get in on the deal.

Still no luck. 107 active listings now on E-Bay. I guess some people have no shame or morals, as long as they can make a quick buck.

Welcome to Slickdeals and the "Slickdeal Effect".

site messed up

no. $9.99/ea but there are $5/$7 coupons here:

http://stage.a1cnow.com/Special-O...ne_CPN.pdf

plus you get the $9.99 ECB


HTH :hug:

opt IN newsletter option was appreciated. All companies should do this

Not necessary true.....I am not a fat slob! Its simply the genetics that run in my family. I eat very well...keep my carbs to a minimum (120-150 grams per day) and exercise 30 minutes to an 1 hour EACH day. Its a struggle admittedly sometimes but no more difficult than anything else in life. Once you get into a routine, its actually quite easy to keep on track!

PM sent to you

Were you able to get in on the deal and register for the free offer?

No, you can choose from one of the ones listed. They are all $9.99 each. If you decide to purchase one you will receive $9.99 in extra bucks to use on a future purchase. Someone posted the link to printables so they will be cheaper with the MQ, but I did notice they were not valid in MA. The limit is 1 for receiving the extra bucks but if you needed more than one meter the price would still be $9.99.

THAT IS PATHETIC GROUP OF LOSERS
SD SHOULD FIND AND LIST THEIR PERSONAL INFO ON WALL OF SHAME :eek:

Edit:
Seems like not all 107 are eligible for that award. Many will come up soon though...

Timing out :(

Even with the additional link I provided earlier?

Timing out for me too which stinks since DH pays out of pocket. Thanks for posting though OP.

"An error has occurred, please try again later"

Thanks! Will try to get one for my dad who is diabetic

OP really shouldn't have posted this deal on SD unless he's ok seeing people abusing it to death, ordering as many as they could to flip.

Was reticent to post 'deal' but I figured if @ least of few folks who truly needed this got in on the offer, it would make a difference!

Seems some folks don't have any shame.....

thank you op, ordered mine, don't test myself nearly enough

Would need this for my Mom :(

i've been getting the same message as well..been trying for an hour!

I have tried 3 different browsers and still got the same error. Not sure what is going on.

Thanks for posting this, I've been needing a new meter and one that syncs with my computer would be excellent :)

Great find OP!!

Hopefully greedy people aren't abusing this. My little brother has type 1. A spare meter would be helpful to have around and he can always use strips.

Something is up with the website. I'm getting "An error has occurred, please try again later"

We also need this for family member. Shame on those that took advantage of this for profit!! Hope carma comes back and gets them!!:mad: Getting error message.

Not even I will resell these..

FWIW, I give away every meter I happen to get. My last workplace had to dispose of perfectly good glucometers as well as expired test strips because we got brand new meters. I must have given away 10 meters and 500 test strips that were only 1 or 2 months past the expire date.

It's unbelievable that people don't know you can get free glucometers.

Not gonna claim this. It's inhumane to abuse an offer for people who really are sick and in need of this.

Thx OP! Sharing/sending this deal to dd's roomate whos is IDDM! TU and repped!

You need to pull this post down. It's going to get abused without a doubt. In fact you already posted what they can resell them for. There are just some things that don't need to get posted to slickdeals. The company will see the swell in orders and end up ending the promotion or running out of stock.just check the site if you need proof. It's completely frozen up.

waiting for site.........mmmm

Where are good places to look?

Site still having issues

trying to get a meter for my mom...getting the same error

I wish people would stop abusing this - seriously get some ethics people! You're preventing people who need this from getting one. Like me.

Awesome. I know some of my patients would really like one of these! Thanks!

OP my mom has diabetes, but is somewhat computer illiterate. How difficult is it to use this device. Want to make sure of this info before I take one for her.

8 people bought. How? I have been getting error since this afternoon.

Same thing, needed for one for dad but it keeps giving an error.

Quite easy in fact!

To test, simply insert strip into slot on side of meter, wait 5 seconds...results are shown and then hit one of three buttons options - 'Before Meal, After Meal, No Mark'

I believe the unit holds up to 2,000 readings. It provides a daily, weekly and monthly average right on the screen itself. It also has a light feature on it so that you can test in the dark. It charges via a wall charger (that is provided in this kit) and it also charges by simply plugging into the PC as well similar to a USB jump drive. Software is a snap to load and read results. Everything can be viewed by day, numbers and in color charts. Data can even be saved to .pdf and either e-mailed or saved directly to jump drive and e-mailed/printed and shared with Doctors

Hope this helps out!

Package has a big picture of a Snickers with a line through it.

THIS IS NOT A HIJACK.....As a person recently diagnosed with "Diabetes" I found the South Beach Diet where you reduce or eliminate simple carbohydrates (ie: processed grains, enriched grains, white flour etc.....) Without getting into boring details, your body simply cannot process these carbs.....and if we ingest said carbs, your body responds with producing insulin in an effort to reduce the spike in blood sugar and after awhile, your body becomes insulin resistant (aka: diabetic). I lost (so far) a total of 29lbs, weaned off 2 hypertension meds and got my blood sugar into the sub 100 range (without the use of medication) all simply by trying to eliminate simple carbs!

Unfortunately, changing habits is much harder than popping a pill. Everyone would do well by avoiding simple carbohydrates. Agree completely.

same here, is the deal dead?

No need to explain yourself OP. The comment shows how immature the poster is. Fact is a lot of people don't realize how being overweight isn't the only reason to be diagnosed with diabetes. Sometimes it is inherited genetically as you said.

Btw, funny guy correct your grammar. Someone isn't fat, they are overweight because they have fat.

thank you & repped

Site's locked up... Would have been nice to get 1 new reliable meter, to replace the 2 semi-functional ones my wife refuses to stop using

I have the Revel pump and the Next version of this meter that transmits the results to it. Awesome system. It seems quite accurate. The Next meter uses different strips, however. I did use the meter briefly before switching to the Next version when it came out.

Thanks OP!!!! Sorry to hear that there's still the selfish inconsiderate abusers of the deal while it can benefit a lot of people.
Also sorry to hear of the ignoramus who could only think of diabetes = "fat slob," or another immature joke. -_-

This is the meter I have. Just to be clear, it doesn't send the insulin dose, just the reading so your pump can then calculate the dose.

Hated that meter. It took a ton of blood compared to the Next and the Next lets you add blood for 30 seconds if you don't get enough on the strip initially, that meter just started the test right away then gave an error message. And yes, much bigger. The Next is a bit wider than the plain old Contour USB.

really hope this link works soon...I really need a new meter

I need this for my Granny.

:)In 4 1,thanks,op

should OP be updating this thread as dead?
I don't believe anybody is having luck anymore, ppl have been wasting time from hours trying to get this.

Also I see around 12 ppl mentioned they bought this..any of those got it through this deal??

You are totally spot on with this comment. Thanks for clarifying my original posting for everyone else!:nod:

No need to mark it as dead. It wasn't really a new deal to begin with. All meter companies will give you a free meter. It's the strips they make money on. It's been this way for years. Look through the massive SD archive and you'll see all the previous threads about it. So it's not like it's dead never to return. It's just sleeping and it'll be back. Just remember to check back later. It's been available for years.

My point exactly!

When I was diagnosed awhile back, I quickly learned that its not the meters that cost a lot, its those damn testing strips. Most of these strips now of days have more advanced technology in them, you gotta wonder if they were retro-fitted from a UFO crash!!! They have microchips/sensors in them that are faster a basic calculator.....

Bottom line here folks, drug companies are virtually bending over backwards to sell you a meter at significantly reduced price via rebates/discounts, etc. or simply GIVE them away with a sample strip pack (such as this promotion) in hopes that you will get hooked on their product and buy THEIR strips. Its commonly known in the diabetic community that its the strips that cost the most money and NOT the meters themselves. Medical companies take a small loss on the meter, knowing that they will DEFINITELY make it up in spades once you start buying their strips.

I know some folks have suggested that this post be deleted or removed. I too questioned my reasoning for putting this post up in the first place and it WAS NOT for the rep points. It was ONLY to help folks out who needed a new meter. I balanced out the fact that I was posting to Slickdeals and the thought of having some folks here take advantage of this greatly needed product was still not enough for me to consider removing it from this forum.

If a moderator really feels that this an inappropriate posting, by all means take it off. I personally made a decision to post this information in hopes of helping as many people out. Bottom line here, If you need it or know someone who does need one, great! If you are ordering one with the intent on selling it elsewhere, shame on you!

All I have to say, is Karma is a freakin' B@#ch for those that don't do things for the right reasons!

Take Care,
:heart:

I don't need one, but I'm not gonna sell it either. I want to use it after I hit the buffet hard. It's a great motivational tool to prevent one from getting diabetes. Anyway, it seems like the site is locking up forever.

You Sure? This is crazy cheap. I am going to get it.

bayors site is getting hammered right now...

I needed one, so I purchased this exact monitor for my grandmother, who doesn't know how to use the computer. It's a sad day when these companies try to market their product to people who need them, rely on them, actually plan their day around the results, and people are flooding the site to collect the 25 strips or resell on CL or Ebay. I wish I could say it surprises me, but as someone who tried to order a free device from bayer for over two hours today and continue to get the "try again later" error, I can say it was worth it for me to spend 13 bucks on Amazon and just hope a few of the people who are trying to order one and need it for daily living (like my grandmother), well, I hope they get one.

Some people talk a big game because of the anonymity of the internet, but if you're reading this and you've flooded the Bayer site without a need for one of these devices, I'll punch you in the stomach if I ever find out. You should feel ashamed and you shouldn't brag, because someone like me may overhear and ruin your farking day.

Anyone who would take advantage of this offer to resell, is truly the scum of the earth. (Don't need a lecture on "capitalism" BTW.)

My blood sugar gets low at random points of the day, I just make sure to eat a twix bar or something... but like you, I test myself when I feel like I forgot something....

Didn't test myself today either D:

You get old, dude.

I hope you don't say that to cancer.

Trying to order one for an older relative, but it doesn't seem to work (using Firefox)

An error has occurred, please try again later

Yes, starting tomorrow. If you want to make sure just go to CVS .com and click the weekly ad button at the top right. Then click upcomming ad. You'll see it on page 6 down at the bottom.

I really needed one, but always I get the following error message. Any luck. Please advise
An error has occurred, please try again later

Imma pass it to somebody who really needs it. :hug:

Wow, really need this to monitor my diabetes. Those who choose to prosper on this are heartless SOBs... plain and simple.

still getting an error.. anyone had success?

can this site really be that busy? i've been trying for over an hour and it's early morning too.

"An error has occurred, please try again later"

Agreed. He/she will get very bad KARMA at the end.

You do know there are two main types of diabetes, right? You don't need a family history or bad health to get an autoimmune disease.

OP, it looks like a pretty nice meter. Too bad many won't get to try it. You can also probably get free meters from your doctor. I always have.

Don't be so cocky! Many seniors get Type II in their 60, 70 or 80.

And some in their 30s and 40s.

Obviously he knows absolutely nothing about causes of diabetes.
But physicians do not know either.

It does not excuse being an arrogant jerk though.

I've tried to PM anyone who seemed to legitimately need the meter about an alternative ordering method. If I missed you and you're still getting the error, PM me. Include a link to your post here.

Sorry but I will not reply if you haven't posted in this thread earlier stating why you needed it. Yes I will check to see if the post has been edited.

I do need it, but I didn't post on this thread because it's been dead since I got here. but if you want to share pm me since I do need it and will keep the link to myself after seeing the thread.

Please let me know. I got the error signing up for my grandmother, who has been diabetic for 20 years. It would help her out. Thanks

found it on sale at walgreens for $5.99

http://www.walgreens.com/store/st...1885&size=

Forgive me if this is posted but starting the 6th, CVS will have the Bayer A1C meter for $9.99 with $9.99 ECB

There is also a $7/1 coupon [a1cnow.com] so you'll pay $2.99 & get $9.99 back to spend in store.

I would love to be able to get one for my 65 years old mother who was diagnosed with type II diabetes two years ago. TIA

Combine with $5 off MFG coupon, perhaps easier than wading through the site assuming you need a meter.

I was wondering why I have not been able to get through for several days. I received an email on this, am diabetic. I would NEVER have posted it here and messed it up for the people that actually need it. Thanks a lot. Please delete it if you have a conscience.

I just wanted to say thanks for posting this here and screwing those of us that got this in an email. I have been trying several days to get it at no avail, am diabetic. Thanks for allowing greedy mf's get them to sell to those that actually need it. Why don't you do the right thing and delete the post? Some things like this should not be posted here, If you are one that got it in an email you probably messed up future freebies for all of us.

I have been trying for two days still cannot get through. I originally recd an email but I know eventually I'll get through.

Does this come with free 25 strips too? TIA.

No one is being screwed out of anything! The deals are for everyone and if you feel that way to me you are a greedy person! There is NO reason why everyone cannot know about this deal, it is about sharing and helping others NOT being greedy and trying to keep it to yourself. Do you relize how many people recd the email and how many people in this world that have diabetic?

Don't blame slick deals, blame the MF for not having their website able to handle the demand. By the way why are you on this thread, if you don't want to help others, maybe you need to go elsewhere

You are brain dead. It's meant for people that are diabetic, not non diabetics to score and sell on ebay. If you can't see that now you might when you grow up.

The deal was for those that got the emails which I did, greedy for wanting what was meant for me? People are apparently not raising their children properly.

So if your welfare check, meant for you, was grabbed by someone else that would be fine? They were meant for those that got the emails, not a bunch of children that think everything is owed to them (like you).

Heck, I actually need a meter and I've been diagnosed with diabetes. It's sad the site doesn't work and I don't have any money to buy a meter. :(

I've been trying for the last 4 hours and no luck.

BAYER sucks!!! 3 years ago I bought their meters and they had rebates on them, Bayer got the paperwork but said they would not honor it for their rebate.. I got screwed by Bayer. Don't ever expect a rebate from them if they offer one. They will find a way not to honor it.

looks like they intentionally screwed up that web page not to honor , what they can't fix it? its been 24 hours. I got one for 99 cents after mfg coupon from walgreen some one posted that coupon here thanks for that and repped the person who posted that $5 coupon.Yeah sure no testing strips though i got a buy it now.

i tried printing the coupons you provided in the other link
but they wont show up
is it just my computer?

How did you know I was a clown? It is NOT stealing if it is being given away for free!
How do you know that everyone that is trying to get the meter does not need it YOU DON'T!
I'm not protecting anyone but, before you run off at the mouth on this board especially since you are a new user you might want to watch what you say.

Now since you are a new user to me you are looking for deals too am I right? So does this make you a thief/stealing for wanting to get in on deals and freebies?
Do me a favor think before you speak, and remember we are all hear to help each other and find deals to save money in this economy.

Why should they honor it? They sent out emails to those that were supposed to get the meters. People signing up for a free meter that did not get the email is stealing. I don't blame them for shutting it down, it's been hijacked because a simpleton posted his email info on here.

It's funny to me how many people complain that they couldn't get in on the offer and blame it on Ebayers. Let's be real about things for a minute. Diabetes is primarily (note I did NOT say always, as there are some exceptions) related to obesity. Genetics may make someone more susceptible, but neither has been "scientifically" proven as a cause. What is factual though is the statistics behind it. Over 80% of people with diabetes are overweight (~50% are considered obese). To take it a step further, other studies have found that some of these people who are technically considered normal weight, still carry above average fat in their midsection. I'm sure many of these people had no problem spending ~$20-50 per week on fast food, grande latte's, and various other junk food, but have the audacity to throw a tantrum when they feel like they're jipped out of "their" free meter (valued at ~$10-20) by some "greedy" Ebay'ers??? Really? This sense of entitlement and lack of personal responsibility is sickening to me. No one owes any of you shit, and if your unhappy with your current situation, then change it.

For the record, I am overweight. Obese, actually. 230lbs, 5'10". And I am probably diabetic or at least in the pre stages (don't care to be tested). However, you're not going to hear me piss and moan about and blame anyone or anything for the situation I put myself in. Although I've never been a sedentary person, I've had horrible eating habits which got me to where I am today. That's on me. I'll own it. I decided to make a change recently, in my eating habits, and will drop ~40lbs before summer. If I fail, that's on me as well. If I have/get diabetes, that's also on me. I won't blame it on mom or dad for "cursing" me with some gene. I take responsibility for my own life.

Additionally, do not delude yourself into believing that Bayer or any other company gives a flying shit about your well-being. You are a statistic and a dollar sign to them. Any of them will give you a free meter if you ask... not because they have big hearts...because they make their money gouging you for their test strips. The sooner people come to this realization and start owning up to their life decisions, the sooner people's quality of life will see a dramatic improvement.

You are just as dense as the other guy.

1, Bayer sent out the email's to certain people with the code for a free meter.

2. Many that actually got the email cannot get the meter because it's been hijacked by those that did not get an email and only want to sell the meter.

3. What part of that can you not comprehend???? They meant them for those that they sent the emails to. Now that's been sabotaged by people like you that thinks you are owed one even though you did not get an email.

Ask your doctor for one. Test strip manufacturers give starter kits like this one to doctors in the same way that drug companies do with samples.

I'll try asking her again next week, if push comes to shove I'll try google again for meters. Thanks anyways! :cool:

I have the same problem, but I found another way to print it.
First, you save it as pdf file (not print as pdf, but "Save file"), then open that pdf to print. Hope it help.

Thank you chapstick chick

Hdmi?

Most meters are free. Go ask you doctor and he might give you one. The money is made on tests strips.

Just like printers and ink. So no need to go ape shit.

If you subscribe "Reader Digest" magazine, you will see all kind of free blood glucose meter. I don't see it every issue, but very often.

Like I told the other SDer, if you subscribe "Reader Digest", you're in luck. Try to figure out where you will find the magazine. Good luck!

If the site was just being overwhelmed, some people would still manage to get through (especially overnight hours), so they've obviously crippled it on purpose. Why don't they just put up a message that it's temporarily stopped because of the demand, or that they're out of stock or it or something, instead of wasting everyone's time filling out the form?

BTW, do people really actually get these to resell?

Got them from CVS for just about free. I had over a hundred that I sold 3 yrs. ago.

lol, how juvenile, just like the rest of your response.

lol, link to a study showing that HFCS is in MOST of the foods we eat? also, please define "we."


lol, gotta love a college sophomore & his reductionism. excess calories are stored as fat. if your excess calories are from high-quality protein, guess what? they'll be stored as fat too.

also, link to a study (published in a peer-reviewed journal) showing that HFCS is the primary culprit for the diabetes epidemic?

lol, that's a very helpful study, as just about everybody eats either PURE glucose or PURE fructose without anything else.

oh and could the language be more wishy washy? it MAY have done this, or it MAY have done that....

oh and this cardiologist says glucose is evil

LOL!

http://www.amazon.com/Glycemic-Lo...279&sr=1-4

that's right! all they need to do is STOP EATING HFCS & DIABETES SHALL MAGICALLY DISAPPEAR!

LOL!

LOL!

you haven't shown that HFCS is is a lot of the food "we" eat. even if it is, so what? where's a study that proves HFCS is the cause of diabetes?

lol, I looked but didn't find anything. all of my food is CLEAN.

how can I possibly take personal responsibility when the evil food makers poison my food with HFCS?

LOL!

lol, how many people are going to do that after a horrendous day at work? if things were that simple, why would we be having this conversation?

you're like 19 or 20 yrs old, right?


lol, how is everyone eating differently when, by your own admission, most of the food supply is full of HFCS, which, according to you, is the primary cause of diabetes?

LOL!

if you're eating corn or other starches (bread, potatoes, rice)

ENJOY DIABETES!

LOL!

"For more than ten years, preventive cardiologist and champion of glycemic-load science Dr. Rob Thompson has kept his diabetes under control by targeting starch--not sugar--as the number-one cause behind this chronic condition. Now Dr. Thompson shares with you his easy-to-follow, low-starch diet-and-exercise program that promises to stabilize blood sugar and balance your glycemic load in just seven days."

http://www.amazon.com/Glycemic-Lo...279&sr=1-4

:)Tu,Thanks op.

I don't know what this fuss about. Companies in Canada give the glucose meters away for free because they make money on the strips and you could get them at any drug store without a line up. The same meters are available in the US, except the readings are in mMol/L like in the rest of the world.
My resting blood sugar readings are 5.8, which is borderline and I am watching what I eat now. Multiply this by 18 to get it in mg/dL and I have 104.
Would I feel guilty buying a printer cheaply if I know I will be dinged when I buy the ink?

Hope it comes. My mother in law does need it ....

I'm not sure if glucose levels effect comprehension or you simply didn't bother to read my post? I did not mention, nor do I give a damn about what emails were sent out to anyone. Secondly, where did I state that I even attempted to get one of these meters? I didn't. And have no desire to. You accusing me of having any sense of entitlement is the funniest farking thing I ever heard. I am about the furthest person from that description. I suggest you read other posts of mine on this forum. Now...is there some part of this that you do not comprehend???

I'm not even sure how to reply to people who live in a delusional reality and point the finger at everyone but themself? There's a glaring contrast between your post and mine. See if you are able to find it and get back to me.

I was going to give it a try since I haven't tested in a while. I have type 2 and know when my sugar is high your body knows it too. I currently do not have medical coverage and these testers and the medication are both expensive. It keeps error out. do not waste your time with this

For those grumbling above, I am in Healthcare and there is a distinct difference between type 1 and type 2. Type one is typically genetic, affecting the bodies ability to maintain insulin production, causing hyperglycemia. Type 2's most common cause is indeed improper diet, lack of exercise, and obesity, although there case be other causes and there are potential genetic links there as well.

Regarding meters, as mentioned above, a NICE free meter and sample set of test strips is available from you local Dr and/or pharmacy almost all of the time. I prefer the OneTouch systems myself.

Agreed...but since type 2 accounts for 90-95% of diabetes cases, it's more than fair to assume that the majority of diabetics addressed by the comments are most likely type 2. Can't speak for others, but my main point was that people need to take more personal responsibility for their choices.

Yea I have been a diabetic the last 23 years...your numbers of 90-95% is WRONG. Where are you pulling those numbers from? :confused:

http://diabetes.niddk.nih.gov/dm/...tatistics/ (bottom of page under "Types of Diabetes")
http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/he...85,P00353/ (very first sentence)

I can find more if you need.

If you see and endocrinologist for your diabetes, they may have free meters with test strips to give for free.

Agreed with you with companies make $ on strips and toners/cartridges. Plus, mobile carriers make $ on different plan by giving out FREE phone.

shame on you op that just to collect rep points you are posting this thread here, opening door to possible abuse.

No, just USB.

His numbers are correct.

I just tried this and says "An error has occurred, please try again later" Is the deal dead?

Bayer is an evil, Nazi-based company. They cripple and kill unsuspecting people & animals for profit. I wouldn't take their sh!t for free.

Give me a break. They cripple animals to help better the lives of humans. Im sick of this PETA crap I keep hearing. Sad for the animals but it's a necessary step

Oh, I wasn't even referring to their animal testing...but thank you for bringing that up! I was actually referring to the products they make for pets.

Yes they are pretty evil but most of Big Pharma is as well. But yes torturing and killing animals is not cool.

They promoted heroin as a medicine in year 1901, LOL.

They promoted heroin as a medicine for children in year 1901, LOL.

I'll try for one, I don't know if my insurance covers these strips as they've only seem receptive to me using OneTouch strips. I can't check right now unfortunately since my pharmacy benefits site is down for maintenance though.. Thanks OP.

Update: Getting an error submitting form.

Update: Put IE into compatibility mode and it went through, thanks again OP, repped.

Repost of a reposted repost. http://slickdeals.net/f/5780844-F...-25-Strips

got in and i use it.

i just ordered one.

will my doc write me a prescription for these test strips or do doctors only write prescriptions for specific strips with a HMO?

i need to do a better job of testing. =/

MD usually write rx for test strip and u can tell them or the pharmacy what test strip you want. Whether it is covered or not it depends on your insurance plan. The pharmacy would not know which stips is covered until they process your rx and bill your insurance. You might want to call your insurance to check if this particular strip is covered.

thank you!

Got mine today, came with 50 strips!

Tried to get one, when op started the thread, but still no luck gives me an error, any suggestions?

For people who already got this device. Did you guys get a confirmation email before delivery ??????????

How many strips did everyone get??

10 strips in box with 10 lancets. I'm surprised if anyone got 50 strips (as someone above noted). Are they sending the same meter to everyone?

I have tried this with Chrome, IE9 and Firefox and with two different addresses, and it always hangs up and then says

Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

Worked to me :)

I had no problem ordering one of these meters. Thanks to the OP (albeit a few months later).

call the CS rep
 

Thanks OP.

If you get errors while ordering online, you can call them. The number should be on one of those pages. They asked for the exact same information on the website and sent me a free meter in 2 days.

Thanks for posting this - I'm pretty tight budget, and wanted to test my blood sugar before heading to a doctor and paying for an office visit. I was about to go to walmart to get one, but found this. Not only did you save me 20$, but you saved me the gas as well! Thanks so much!!

I applied for one for my Father today,but haven't gotten an acknowledge email for the order.

Anyone know if this this deal is dead?
