Help getting testing supplies?
boyfriend is type 1 and needs help getting his testing supplies.
Currently he has an Ascensia Contour by Bayer tester, and uses the strips also made by them. I couldnt seem to find any help on their site :/
Another tester is fine, or another kind of strip that would work with the machine.
He has no insurance or medicare. If we have to pay some it's fine, just the full cost is a bit much.
Try e-bay. There are lots of different meters and test strips for sale on there. I just got myself some tests strips (I use the Accu Chek Compact) for a third of what I would have paid in a pharmacy (pharmacy cost would have been more than $300...I got them for just over $100...6 boxes worth).
You can also contact by phone the maker of the meter your boyfriend uses. Many companies are willing to help people out with test strips and such. Bayer is the maker of the Contour. Look them up and call them. You will get better results by calling rather than emailing. I did that once before with Roche. I told them I had no insurance and needed help with test strips. They sent me 6 boxes worth (more than 300 strips).
Everyone knows how expensive diabetes supplies are. Many companies now have programs to help people out and they will. Good luck.
