Believe it or not, you can get a free glucose monitoring system. There are no strings attached. These meters are not out of date models, and they are not used. You can even make special requests such as the model of glucose tester you want, the meter bag you would like to go with it and even the color of the meter.

The companies get a few things out of making these offers;

First of all, they get free promotion. You will likely remember the company that gave you the free tester and choose them with you need other products, like glucose tablets or emergency glucose injection pens.

Second, if they give you a meter, they keep you as a customer even if you choose another brand for those other items, because you will need to buy the test strips that match the meter. Test strips are expensive, and you cannot choose to mix one manufacturer’s meter with another company’s test strips. You will be a customer for as long as you have the meter. If you are a diabetic struggling without insurance, however, the bottom line is - who cares?

Paying full price for a meter is prohibitive and being without a meter is not an option. Managing your blood sugar is the key to managing your diabetes. Simply taking insulin shots, eating well and exercising is not enough. Your blood sugar tells the story of what is working and what is not, so a tester devise is a must.
