Diabetes Supply Coupons??

[princesskimmi]

Hi everyone - My SIL was asking me if they ever have coupons for Diabetes Supplies. She was mainly interested in Test strips and dextrose tabs.

I have never seen any but I haven't really looked - Any info would be helpful.

I am not sure...in 2009 when I first started couponing there were for the tabs...but I have not seen anything this year. You may what to email the companies or call the diabetes clinics and ask them?? My mom's friend gets test strips from them free because they are supplied at that clinic from a certain company.

If only they supplied them free out West. Mine are covered under my extended health plan but my mom is a senior living on a very fixed income and can't afford the strips.

Dextrose tablets come on sale once in a while.

I've never seen coupons for test strips, and I've never seen them come on sale, although sometimes regular prices come down when a new testing machine from a competitor comes on the market. If you're a regular user of one brand in particular, you may be able to get a replacement for free from the manufacturer, since it's in their best interest for you to continue buying the strips. My husband uses the One-Touch system, and they are always willing to replace his machine (or provide a newer model) at no cost when it breaks down.
