LifeScan offers replacement to BD meter users

In what I think is a clever move to increase market share LifeScan has announced that it will offer a free meter to users of the BD meter. In my experience the OneTouch meters are much more accurate and reliable than the BD meters, so this would seem to be an easy way to get off the BD meters.

According this release:

Customers who would like to change to a OneTouch® Brand Blood Glucose Monitor can do so by calling LifeScan's toll-free Customer Service Line at 1 888 430-7226.

For those of you who are planning to stick with the BD meters, I'd suggest stocking up on the test strips now!

I was born in Ireland and now live in the US. I have had Type 1 diabetes for over 35 years. I struggle with my blood sugar, the same as most people with diabetes. I wear a Cozmo 1800 insulin pump and a Dexcom SEVEN CGM to track my blood glucose levels. I also take Symlin to help control my post-meal blood sugars. I'm blessed by God, and every day brings the possibility of a cure.
