yea that is true, I go through 4 bottle of test strips every 45 days. I'm covered being an active duty dependent. Doing some price checking I found they're 45 bucks a pop retail! Another point my Diabetic RN brought up is that it might make those on tight controls make readings more often, by making it easier.

What would really be neat is if they came up with a wearable monitor that could constantly measure glucose levels and alert the wearer when medication is needed.
I read somewhere that they have been working on something like this for military applications--specifically for men in combat--so that a device could automatically monitor and adjust blood glucose levels to keep men in optimal fighting condition.
Hope this works out.
