Subject: [Diabetes-talk] Test strips and solution for Prodigy meter

Hello all. I just joined the list. I myself am not diabetic, but my 
girlfriend is. She uses the talking Prodigy talking meter. I am wondering 
where the best places you have found to get additional test strips and 
calibrating solution. I'm very new to all of this and so I want to learn as 
much as I can. Walgreens sells 50 strips for $60 and that seems like a lot. 
I found 100 strips for $33 from Amazon from a seller with great reputation. 
What sort of things should I watch for when purchasing test strips? I know 
they should not be expired. Also I just learned that if they are stored in 
extreme temperatures that could ruin them as well.

While I am at it, are there only one kind of talking glucose meters for 
blind people to use? I have only seen the Prodigy. Lastly, how often should 
it be recalibrate do?

Thanks, and my apologies if my questions seem elementary.
