at the thrift store yesterday, I bought a quart-sized sharps container for 99 cents (I'd been using a metal vacuum style coffee mug with a lid, it was getting full)
bundled with it was an Arkray Assure Platinum meter !
a little research later, I found these are commonly used in nursing homes and similar professional venues, they require .5 ml blood samples, and the pictured strips look a great deal like the ones for my ReliOn Prime (the Prime is also mfg by Arkray, then rebranded by Walmart)
will have to contact Arkray and see if these take the same test strips (if the Arkray Assure strips will fit the Prime or vice versa ?)
not a bad idea to have a backup for my backup, right? and the price was right ....
there were several packs of lancets as well (I have enough already) and a zippered case for a OneTouch mini, will have to keep checking back to see if other supplies show up -- there were syringes too, but they were LuerLok type which I'm not familiar with, and nearly at retail price for the ones I use
