So today is the day that I am officially making the switch to the Verio meter. Over the last two years I have used about 5-6 different meters. This was primarily because I didn’t have insurance and I was using strips from anywhere that I can get them. With having insurance now, I had more of a choice, but not a choice of anything that I wanted because of the costs. The strips for the Contour USB were about $150 for a 90 day supply but the Verio strips were only $25 for 90 days, so that’s what I chose.
I’ve been using up all of my old OT and Contour strips over the last couple of weeks and while I was in Vegas, but I’m all out.
This will be a little short lived though because I will be starting a trial period of the Medtronic 530G shortly.
