I thought that perhaps the meter was damaged so I called customer support. Every reading that I took was high and when I would check against my usual meter there were over 30 points difference. I switched from a meter I had used for years that was reliable to an Accucheck because of claims made by the company. I am sure that many use the Accucheck meters but I had a bad experience with one. Is the Accu Chek "ACTIVE" meter and strips something thats old and possibly outdated and replaced by the "AVIVA" for the strips to be so much cheaper, or would I benefit by buying an "ACTIVE" meter and saving on the strips price if my insurance does about what I expect it to ?

The Accu Chek "AVIVA" strips were comparable to the OneTouch prices, around $52 for 50 of those strips. I also noticed that there was a supply of Accu Chek "ACTIVE" strips, that came 50 to a bottle for $23 dollars. I was at Walmart tonight looking at their supplies and found the 25 strips for this meter to be about $26, the 50 strips to be about $53. She told me that my insurance should cover the strips with a script from my doctor.ĭue to the holidays, I have not gotten in to see him for this script, but with the BC/BS insurance I have, I'll be shocked if it covers much of this. During the class, I was given a Lifescan Onetouch Ultra mini meter that came with 10 strips. Last week, I went to a diabetes education class to learn about this disease, methods to control it and changing eating habits.
