Glad you got a freebee.  One other thing...some states have
medical/prescription assistance programs for pre-medicare folks that may
pay for test strips.  You miight want to check your state for that.  Some
dru companies also have programs to supply free/reduced cost meds to those
that qualify based on income.

who knows what will happen to these programs now that we have the new and
improved USSR healcare Plan.

cya,
