I've been thinking about getting a back up meter - I, too, don't need it to gauge medication dosages - for those 'just in case' times (weird readings for example). And, it's easy enough to get a free meter. What's keeping me from getting another meter, though, is not wanting to pay for TWO sets of test strips instead of just the one. I keep waffling on the subject (oops not waffling, too many carbs, I'm uh "omeletting" on it LOL)

Well if you get the same model meter or close you might be able to use the same strips.

WELL, mine is an accucheck compact and I noticed a couple of weeks ago that Walmart had the newer version for $17.

Drat - it appears that only applies to the Aviva model...

Good point, that I just get another of the same kind to have on hand. DOH! Why didn't I think of that. LOL

I've often thought of having another so I can have one here at work and one at home/on the go with me. That way I wouldn't have to be hauling this one back and forth daily - there have been days when I left it home and couldn't test all day at work (I only test a couple times per day, per the dr's orders so I just tested before and/or after dinner and/or before bed on those days)
