Free Blood Sugar Monitor

I know a lot of us have been having issues with hypoglycemia lately so I thought you might be interested in this.  I ordered and received a free blood glucose monitor from Abbott Diabetes Care.  www.FreeStyleLite.com or 1-866-570-4288.  It comes with about 10 test strips and the lancets.  I got a Rx from my doc for more supplies so my insurance pays for most of it.  It's tiny, fits easily in my purse and uses a very TINY sample of blood.   Anyway, you can't beat free.

What diagnosis did your doctor use for the RX? My husband keeps having attacks, but his doctor won't give him any type of RX. My doctor will do it if I ask as he is determined to figure out what is causing MY light headed attacks and making sure it is not the anemia.

My husband is a diet controlled diabetic so he gave him the Rx and I just ordered me an extra monitor so now we have two.  I would imagine that hypoglycemia would be a reasonable diagnosis for insurance approval.
