Abbott Labs has a coupon offer for anyone wanting one of these on their website. However . . . I have been using the Accu Check Active for a lot of years. We check it a couple of times a year against what ever the current 'gold standard' is at the vet's office, glucometer and lab work. Our last check was 2 weeks ago and there was only a 4 pt difference. It is always very accurate, can be purchased just about every where for about half the price. I'm posting the coupon info as I know there are people who prefer them. I was at Abbott's website doing some research for my vet when I stumbled across it. This is neither an endorsement nor condemnation, just a courtesy for anyone who may be looking. Happy shopping! Brenda FurpeopleWeyr.com [Posted in FML 7351]
