Amazing! It comes with a lifetime supply of lancets!
Quite a good deal especially if testing supplies not covered by your insurance or if you have no insurance. This package price is in general better than just buying a 100-count box of most brand strips alone and here you’re also getting the lancets (many drug stores would give you a meter under some promo or another just for buying the strips so it isn’t the meter itself that is the bargain). I’d want to know the expiration date on the strips though.
I bought this set last fall to check on how well vinegars dampen glucose spikes if taken 30 mins before carbs.
It works!

My strips only had 6 mon before expiration.
In general easy to use, inexpensive & does the job.
Short expiration may play a part in the price then - sometimes they get reduced when there is less than a year on them. Six months still plenty of time for most people to use up 100.
Honest question - 100 strips? That’s a 50 day supply for checking 2 hours after 2 major meals a day (I prefer that as it yields the most useful feedback info from what I have seen). Did I miss something about lifetime supply? Or was that little hyperbole? (no impertinence intended)
It was hyperbole. When I was first diagnosed with T1D, I was checking my sugar 4-6 times a day. I use a CGM now so I don’t usually do a fingerstick unless I think the CGM is off or I need to calibrate it.
Just got another one.
Shipped from Delaware & got here in 2 days.
Exp for Cont sol 12/24
strips 12/24
So all good!

Great deal, selling on the mothership for $33.
Test strip refills are $23 for 100 strips. Strip bottles expire 6 months after opening.
Well then it sounds like purchasing several would be an even better deal - you’d not only have a backup meter but a 100-ct refill of strips for less than buying them separately along with more lancets and the control solution!
Well, those went fast.
