Glucose Test Strip

American Diabetic Supply recognizes that the test strips which accompany your blood glucose meter make up a lot of the cost of diabetic testing supplies. Meters are generally a one-time purchase. You may even receive a free blood glucose monitor through your doctor or health insurance provider. Lancets and control solution are also a low expense, leaving most of your money going toward glucose test strips.

The price of the various test strips on the market seems to stay in the same general range. You can assume you are spending between 50 and 80 cents per sugar check, depending upon the brand. For those with health insurance, this is not a problem. However there are many Americans, possibly upwards of 15 percent, who do not have health insurance.

Diabetes and Health Insurance
Most states have laws which require health insurance companies to cover the cost of diabetes testing supplies, even if you are new to the provider. You should check with your state to see if these laws apply to you. Depending on your health insurance provider, you may only have the option of one or two of the more well-known blood glucose monitoring systems. It's a good idea to do some research to see which brands of diabetes testing supplies your plan covers.
