Walmart/Relion discontinuing 100 ct strips

[katiesmom]

Just a heads up-
Walmart is discontinuing the 100 ct pack of test strips for the Micro/Confirm.
If you find them at your local pharmacy, stock up, as the clearance price is just $25.
I just found out today when I went to purchase strips (they were out, darn it).
Their website is sold out too.
The 50 ct will still be available.

I thought something was up... the pharmacy at my local Walmart didn't know anything.

That's super annoying.

(But I did manage to snag a box at the $25)

So now we all have to find another meter????????

The post says the 100 count is being discontinued but the 50 count will still be available.

Just have to buy twice as many boxes or buy the Arkray Glucocard01 Sensor strips from ADW

buy the Arkray Glucocard01 Sensor strips from ADW

So these will work? I know Arkray makes the Relion strips, but that doesnt always mean anything lol

Well that's super annoying...

Yeah, I snagged a box of 100s at $25 two days ago at the Neighborhood Market Walmart. The regular Super Walmart never seems to have any of any size. I have a FreeStyle Lite meter that I actually like better than the Relion Micro that I'm currently using. I know some people use the Insulinx brand in their AlphaTrax but has anyone tried them in the FreeStyle Lite?

 

[MrWorfMen's Mom]

Here in Canada the strips for the InsuLinx and the Freestyle are one and the same. Hre they all come packaged as Freestyle Lite and the box says they are for the the various Freestyle meter including the InsuLinx meter. MARKETING ploys me thinks!

Yes.....I've used the Arkray strips in my Confirm meter and the Confirm strips in my Arkray meter. Arkray is the company that actually makes the Confirm and them WalMart slaps their "Relion" name on it

Did a search on Amazon.com for Arkray strips and got loads of possibilities. Have not checked any individual listings to make certain they are the same as @Chris & China references so do your due diligence before purchasing.

I just went to Walmart and they don't have any ReliOn Confirm strips OR testers. I wonder if they are doing away with the whole system. I saw a bunch I didn't recognize called ReliOn Premier, but no Confirms

 

[Teresa & KitKat]

I have a ReliOn Micro meter, I wonder if the Arkray strips will work with it. When ever I buy strips they say Confirm/Micro.

I'm thinking about giving it a try myself but will be a month or so before I need to buy any strips again. If you try them, would you mind posting your experience with them for the rest of us? Thanks!

There are two Relion Premiere meters, one reads back the BG reading (Voice model) in English or Spanish. The other connects via Bluetooth to an app on your phone. The strips require 1/2 mL of blood (the Confirm is 1/3). The strips are cheap, $0.17 each in 100's

If or when I find out I will post what I find out.

Pardon my french, but GOD DAMNIT.. another Walmart trip for me to stock the hell out of whatever I find. *sigh* is there ANY alternative..? Do we all move to Prime, or what...? God I dunno what to plan for now.

 

[Misty2007]

I know that jet.com is selling some of the 100 ct.

Ah bless, thanks... I just dunno what to do when it all runs out, what I'll switch to then... I like having a plan.
