I was getting it at a local pharmacy. Unfortunately they made a mistake for 5 months thinking I had insurance to help cover the costs at 38 dollars. Suddenly they wanted me to get a reauthorization from my doctor to the insurance company. They otherwise would charge me $93 dollars. I could get a discount on it from Abbot, but it would still cost me over $75 dollars. I can’t afford it at that price. So I guess I was lucky enough to get it for less for 5 months and will use the knowledge to get a decent A1C . I can’t use insurance because I don’t use insulin. They don’t want to help with healthy people stay healthy… A bigger problem than I can solve….so back to finger sticks
