That looks to be for a DVD and booklet.  I don't see any reference to a
free meter.  ???

At the bottom of the page.
The OneTouch Ultra2 Meter comes complete with a unique educational

your diabetes around meals. This 20-minute DVD and booklet will show
you how to make simple adjustments so you can still enjoy the foods

I filled this out last night. once you complete the input on the first page
and click to continue on the bottom, the next page tells you about getting
the new Ultra2 meter with the dvd and booklet.

I already use an Ultra as my preferred meter so decided to go for it. The
Ultra and Ultra2 use the same strips....

I did too. Just to be sure I called the toll free number. The lady
said I will have the new meter Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest. She
said I will probably like it so well that I will want to use my
UltraSmart as my backup meter and this new one as my primary.

Life just sucks.  I just called them and they told me they are not
giving away the OTU2.   Nor are they upgrading the meter.  I sure have
the worst luck with Lifescan.  How do you do it Chuck?

Just my inate charm perhaps?
I don't really know except I told her that I need a second meter for
Laurie to carry in her purse so I can test when we are out shopping,
etc. She too said she knows of no give away, but she will send me a
new complete OTU2 kit. Perhaps it was just my charming manner, you
think?

Has to be.  My direct mannerism gets me in trouble a lot.  So no real
surprise.  Can you get another one and have them send it to me?  I can
get it off ebay for a buck or so, but I like free better.  I get
meters off Accu chek for free with no problem.  I just ask and they
just send.  But, Lifescan, I cannot get a freebie meter no matter how
I try.  Cheap bastards.

When the OTU2 came out I called Lifescan and asked for a freebie.
Those cheapo bastards flat out said no.  I tried every sweet talk I
could conceive, and no results.  I have the worst luck with Lifescan.

They sent me a "replacement" meter a few years ago when I called & said I
*might* have to abandon mine in the hospital after radiation isolation --  
and I even said I already had a backup! Maybe they took pity on me.

OTOH, I haven't been successful in getting a free cable the few times I've
asked about one.

To get the free meter just tell them that you use anything other than a
OneTouch meter and you'll get the offer once you click on the submit

Same here.  I use a One Touch Ultra; I just went to the website and
filled out the form (truthfully) and they're sending me a free new
OTU2.

Maybe it's because I've had my current meter for 5 years?

The FedEx guy just delivered my new OTU2.  (The website had said that
it could take 6-8 weeks -- this was only 12 days!)

There's another site that's offering a free OTU2 as well, and it seems
more straightforward (not the "some are offered it, and some aren't"
deal that was on lifescan's site).  If you register for dLife at
http://dlife.com/dLife/do/ShowRegistration
you can opt to get a free meter, with these conditions:

"FREE BGM OFFER TERMS & CONDITIONS
Offer valid for residents of the United States, Puerto Rico, and the
District of Columbia, who provide a valid mailing address during the
dLife member registration process (sorry, we cannot deliver to P.O.
boxes). Void where prohibited. Limit one free blood glucose monitor
per registered dLife member. Please allow 6-8 weeks for your free
blood glucose monitor to arrive. Offer good through December 31, 2006,

Nope.  I do, too, and they offered me a new one.  I'm using a 3+ year

Plain vanilla One Touch Ultra.  I got it in May 2005.
It's my very first meter.

That can't be it, so do I, and I'm getting the freebie.

Or you could go on over and get the Ascensia Contour or Elite freebie
($50 online rebate, mail in for the balance and a free cable).  I got
mine at drugstore.com.

Thanks Susan.  First I'll have to sulk for a couple
of hours.  After all. I have been _disrespected_.

I completely endorse sulking (pouting optional, but highly recommended)
as an appropriate response to dissing by anonymous others.

Hell, all Laurie has to do is let her lower lip protrude a little bit
and I will pry until she tells me what it is that she wants. Then it's
either off to the store or order online and she smiles again.

Psst! Don't tell her I told y'all or she will hold it against me and
not in the manner that I crave. Too bad buying things for her and
surprising her are not a part of foreplay to her. The thing is, she
won't tell me what is. Oh yeah, she is definitely from Venus and I
most certainly am a Martian. ;-)

My SO uses that technique on me... every time he thinks he's falling behind
on PC tech... sigh : (

I filled it out today and was offered the free meter.

Go figure.

Looks like the answers on the first page may determine if they offer
you a free meter on the second page. I went there today, and I filled
it out and got the offer.

The offer for a free OTU2 meter?  Which meter did you say you used?  I
have a hunch there is a correlation.

Hi there!

Lovely to see you again:-)

O_O

We've been wondering where , and how, you were.

The post about Canadian testing depressed me - your
appearance has made my day - thanks! I'm almost tempted to
do one of Kate's snoopy happy dances:-)

Cheers, Alan, T2, Australia.

Send me an email, I had two addies for you and must have
deleted the wrong one because mail came back.

I do believe she has gone anonymous even to we loyal long-time
friends. I always looked forward to her emails, even when she was
down. If she happened to be depressed I always felt I knew she was
hanging on to the thread of hope that came through emails from a few
of us.

Could be Chuck. My opinion is, not that you asked, but if someone isn't
feeling like communicating at certain times, best not to insist, and
don't take it personally. YMMV, but I believe that Diana knows we all
care about her, and she'll email you or be back when she's ready. Sleepy
also goes through those times. :-)

Yah, I know. The difference is that Sleepy put me in his killfile and
has always refused to say why or to give me a chance to make an amend.
No big deal, but I do think I have something positive to share a lot
of the time. Oh well. We do what we can.

I think you always have positive things to say Chuck. I don't always
agree with your politics, but I know you're "positive" in your beliefs.
The main thing with Diana, is that she checked in, so we know she's OK.
I don't think too much about it when long time posters don't post, life
happens and all that, as long as I know they're OK. I know you're on an
email basis with Mack, and it's really unusual for him to be missing for
so long, so do you know why he's not posting? I'm wondering what
happened to Ted too. Is anybody in contact with him? Has anybody cc'd
him? :-) Where are ya Ted?

I did have one short email from Mack and he said he will return when
he is ready. I cannot really tell you anything beyond that.

When I asked my doctor to renew my prescription for test strips
recently, he excused himself and left the room for a minute, then came
back with a brand new Ultra2 test meter for me ... and the requested
prescription. Cool! Ask your doctor.
