Where does everyone go for their testing supplies?

Specifically for people without insurance or who's insurance wont cover supplies, where do you find the best deal? (my insurance will only cover 25 strips/mo but my Dr wants me to test minimum once a day).

And last, any suggestions on a good (but affordable) meter that lets you test on the arm?

WalMart's own brand ReliOn meters have always rated very good in accuracy on the Consumers Reports tests. The meters and strips are inexpensive.

As far as the lancets, what I personally do is reuse them about three times. I clean them in rubbing alcohol. The doctor did NOT tell me to do this and I am only telling you what I do.
