Thanks Chris, I just got off the phone with my Walmart. They said that the Prime, Micro, and, Confirm are still be carried.......she said it was the Ultama that was discontinued. Think I am going to buy up a bunch of the Prime just in case the person I spoke with doesn't know what she is talking about.

Oh this is great news, that means the ReliOn meter I sent will still be usable :)

I think ADW offers autoship - signing up for that may be helpful to have strips delivered as often as you need it to avoid running out! I do that with the cat food, litter, and I did that with some of Frosty’s medicine.

NEW INFO--The ARKRAY GLUCOCARDO1 SENSOR (which is the exact same meter as the Confirm) is NOT being discontinued (at this time). The Relion/Micro ARE......so if you own a Confirm/Micro, you can still get strips from ADW but you'll have to remember to order them in advance so you don't run out at the worst possible time!

These are the strips that will work in both the Relion Confirm and Micro https://www.adwdiabetes.com/product/4047/arkray-glucocard-01-sensor-blood-glucose-test-strips

Make sure you order early enough that you don't run out at the worst possible time (like when your kitty decides to go deep sea diving at 2am on a Sunday morning!)

I also wrote to Arkray and they replied that the Arkray Glucocard 01 and it's strips (Glucocard 01 Sensor) are NOT being discontinued. Good News! The Glucocard 01 and Glucocard 01 Sensor strips are available at ADW.

Chris: now that the Glucocard 01 seems to be still with us, would you like me to send DCIN the meter kits I have? (I always ordered Rusty's strips from ADW and took advantage of the "free" meter kit when 200 strips were ordered; you get 10 extra strips that way: https://www.adwdiabetes.com/product/4045/arkray-glucocard-01-blood-glucose-monitoring-kit
Let me know.
 
For anyone using the NovaMax glucose monitors, I've found a generic supplier that gets excellent reviews: www.stripsupply.com. You can get the strips for less than $0.25/each through this supplier. I think they also have the Bayer Contour strips, but those are pricier.
 
I just got an email from AWD.

I can still get 50 pks of Micro/Confirm strips at both my WallyWorld's here, I just have to ask for them as they are now behind the counter. The 'spot' on the shelves has disappeared. The Prime strips are always well stocked on shelves as is the new blue colored meter (forgot name)...
 
Let's hope it sticks. I had the same drama production in a series of increasingly creepy PM's with a former member who thought "it" was a joke. This is too much like high school sometimes. "She hit me first Mr. Johnson". Oh grow up. :(
 
I posted this in a thread last week but I bought the OnSync (carried at Kroger) about 2 weeks ago when our Walmart stopped carrying any of the Prime/Micro products. I LOVE it. It takes so little blood (maybe even less that the Prime I was using) and the strips are less expensive too. I was able to get 100 for 23.00. I did a comparison of the two meters with my remaining strips and they were pretty close - especially on the lower numbers (both are recorded on my SS).

Just another alternative if you're looking for a low cost option that doesn't require much blood.
