Why are some of them like $100 and others (store name brand it seems) are like $15-20 :scratch:
After I get the monitor what else do I need? like strips, etc?

You'll need lancets, strips and a glucometer. The price difference is usually if they come with strips or not, the strips are what cost you...most companies will give you a free glucometer with the purchase of 100 strips, ask your pharmacist.
Ah I see, how much cash does this usualy come out to minus a bottle of Humalog.Quote:
