As a diabetic, there are many worries.
You worry about your impending health, and the pain of testing.
One less worry you should have on your plate, is how to afford your glucose meter.
There are several ways to receive one.
If you have Medicare, then most companies will provide you with one free of charge.
These companies carry a wide selection of diabetic supplies and can provide them to you at little or no cost.
They will ship products directly to your home so that there are no trips to the doctor's or pharmacy when you need supplies.
If you do not have health insurance or Medicare your options are a little more limited, but you can still receive a free meter.
Some on-line diabetes supplies companies offer you a free tester when you purchase other various supplies.
Although this may seem like merely receiving a discounted meter, keep in mind that a no cost monitor is only "half the battle.
" You will still need to purchase test strips regardless.
Other companies offer rebates for the cost of a meter.
Meter manufacturers will send you a rebate check for the price of a new meter in your choice of colors or styles.
You then take the check to the pharmacy where you would purchase it.
Other manufacturers verify your financial need and supply you with a meter at no cost to you.
While testing can leave you sore and uncomfortable, purchasing a meter shouldn't.
As you can see you have several options.
