[Mike Freeman]

I'll post info when I get home. But the truth is there's no magic solution, at least for the blind, yet.

Ya know, it's terribly unfortunate that nobody seems to have the time to deal with these Strips/Supplies issues.  For all my family members I, myself have refered for Prodigy products, now none of them are using Prodigy since they've all been offered free meters with free supplies.  I am obviously no longer getting paid to answer everyone's questions and help them get Prodigy Products.  Yet, it appears more and more people are having trouble finding strips and supplies, needing help to find ones insurance actually cover? I'm just getting the feeling that there's not much concern for this matter here?  Because if there really was, somebody would actually post availability information on here so that others might access it?
