Free Glucose Meter And Strips

If you have diabetes, you probably know the importance of controlling their blood sugar levels in the blood. The simplest and most effective way to control your blood sugar with a glucose meter (also called blood glucose meter or monitor known.) Blood glucose monitors themselves are relatively inexpensive, but the glucose test strips can be quite expensive. You need a new strip for each test and if your blood sugar tests several times a day, you will be using a lot of test strips.  

There are three ways to get your free glucose meter and strips. The first and simplest is a mail order online that a free blood glucose meters offer Medicare or other insurance visit. Everything you need to do is fill out a form online and sent a meter and other diabetes supplies you need for free. You probably need to give information such as your insurance policy and name of the doctor. Some companies require you have a recipe for the Glucometer. 

Another possibility, a pharmacy, to visit  free glucose meter and strips offers. Some pharmacies can get when you buy freestyle test strips. To request a free glucose meter in a pharmacy, you do not have health insurance. 

The third way to get your blood glucose meter for free, is a directly from the manufacturer. You have insurance to purchase necessary. Of course, you should always contact your insurance company before you see a free glucose meter to where it covered, and what steps to take to get your blood glucose meter.

Potentially Fatal Errors with Certain Glucose Test Strips (October 2009)


FDA is warning again that potentially fatal glucose monitoring errors can occur in patients who receive therapeutic products containing certain sugars other than glucose. These products include oral xylose, intravenous infusions that contain maltose or galactose, and peritoneal dialysis solutions that contain icodextrin, such as Extraneal. A more specific product list can be found below. The problem is that some glucose meters use a type of test strip (GDH-PQQ) that cannot distinguish between glucose and these other sugars, so the reading on one of these test strips will reflect both the patient’s actual blood glucose and the other sugar the patient received. These falsely elevated readings can mask significant hypoglycemia, or they can lead to excessive insulin administration. This can result in severe hypoglycemia, coma and death. Other glucose test strip methodologies are not affected by the presence of non-glucose sugars. FDA has received 13 reports of deaths associated with GDH-PQQ test strips that had documented interference from maltose or other non-glucose sugars. The deaths occurred in healthcare facilities. Ten of the 13 patients were receiving Extraneal peritoneal dialysis solution for renal failure. Three of the 13 patients were receiving maltose-containing substances. Patients were treated with insulin doses or insulin drips that were guided by falsely elevated blood sugar results. Six of the 13 deaths have occurred since 2008, despite previous warnings from
