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

[Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter]

This is really great info because I was just told yesterday that my insurance does not cover the Prodigy test strips, even though they have for several years now. So I need to find an alternative.

I don't know about the recalibration and stuff like that. But I get my strips from Maxi Aids. They come 50 strips for 16 dollars or 200 strips for 67 dollars. Check them out at www.maxiaids.com. I hope this helps.
