Q: There used to be a store on 33rd south in Salt Lake City Utah, where you could get diabetic products. It has now moved. I need to get my free style lite test strips somewhere other than through my insurance. My insurance wants me to get a different meter that is not the qualtiy that I currently have and there are probaly better meter now than what I have. If you could give me some information on the above, I would appreciate it.A: I think the store you are looking for is either the Diabetes Specialty Center at 3793 South State, 801-483-1100 or JQ Medical at 2370 Ft. Union Boulevard, 801-942-8582.
First check with your insurance company to see what type of meters they will cover, often there are several meters. The next step would be to look at the meters to see if you like them and would feel comfortable using one of them. You can look on line for pictures of the covered meters but I think the best option would be to go to either of the diabetes supply stores to see the meters in person. The staff at either store should be able to give you advice about obtaining the supplies that will work for you. Be sure and look because the meters have changed over the past few years and you might find another one you really like!
Take care, ginny
