I changed medical supply place and the new one sent me a new Glucose meter. I didn't ask for one, but I haven't gotten a new one for over ten years and I guess I was due a new meter.

I put it all together and did a few blood tests and a control test and read through the little booklet that came with the meter. I got to the end of the book where it talks about upkeep of the meter and I nearly fell over. The meter runs on one button battery -- and the machine needs a new battery after every 20 tests! TWENTY tests? That's less than a full week of tests if you just need to test three times a day!

My old machine might have taken a good minute before it told me the results of my test, but the batteries lasted at least six months! What kind of gyp is this new meter?

They've GOT to Be Kidding! Fifty two new batteries a year?

How long does your meter's battery last?
