The ones I am using currently are TrueMETRIXGO. I have 2; one normal sized and the other a mini the fits on a strip vial. I get my strips from Amazon for around $00.13 per strip. It's a lot less trouble then dealing with insurance and now medicare. The strips for your meter from Amazon run about $00.65 ea.
