Contour Diabetic

How much should I expect to pay for diabetic testing supplies?

I need Ascensia Contour test strips and Microlet lancets. I am on a tight budget and wanted to get some idea before I go to the store.
Will most insurance pay for these items?
Holy Cow! I had no idea that it would cost so much.

If you live in the US, ask you MD to call in a prescription to your pharmacy. You should expect to pay your normal copay for brand name prescriptions for the strips (I paid $30), and about $10 for the lancets (they cost $10…I do not think insurance paid anything). Without a prescription, a box of 100 testing strips costs around $100. Expensive, huh??

Good luck to you!
