What I am looking for is a way to get them to cover the strips as I live on a very fixed income so eventually paying for the strips is what would put me in the red so if I have to I can switch to a different brand if they will just cover the strips.
As for your problem try contacting the manufacturer and explain the problem as they might send you one for free as they do not really make their money off the meters themselves but rather they make it off the strips.
I know if I had the money though that I would look at getting the FreeStyle Libre that just came out on the market as its completely bloodless.
