Hi everyone, sheepish look here, I think Walgreens in my area and I both goofed, I got the lancets for $11.99 and a free monitor ? Ugh, what a terrible mistake I have made. Ah, well, still got a free monitor and just have to get a set of strips I found out that is where the expense is... I am soooo very sorry about this. Ugh...now I know why I generally keep my mouth shut...gotta pay attention there is a test afterwards. Apparently the test strips is what gets you, in the pocket book, but still depending on how often you are going to use them, for ferrets, I have heard from others that it is very easy to use? Again I am so very sorry for the goof up. Sincerely donna [Posted in FML issue 4331]
