I just saw an infomerical for diabetic products and they mentioned a
meter I never heard of.  It is called QuickTek from
http://www.hypoguard.com/quicktek.html.

It costs $20 from http://www.carepluspartners.com/store/101012.htm
The sticks cost about $19 from

SSID=d4aa702435b130d877ff04f601278ce2

It appears Hypoguard makes numerous meters.
Advance meter.  Sticks are about the same as walmart's Relion.

Here is some info on Hypoguard meters.  I didn't look for the pricing
of the meters/sticks below.

I went to hocks. com to see what it cost and found a chart which
compares meters. http://www.hocks.com/metercompare.htm.

Looks like the damned monopoly Lifescan and Roche have so enjoyed over
the years is about to be broken.  My wallet may finally get a break.
Now if we could break the monopolies on scripts.......
