Chele replied to Rikki's discussion 'Free Contour USB Meter' in the group Free Stuff"The USB meter kit does come with strips. There is one container of 25 strips to get you started.

Good luck…"

Zolar1 said… - Sorry I must have missed your post.
I am suffering from extreme depression. I am taking Welbutrin and Celexa. I will be switching to welbutrin and Zoloft soon.
My depression has escalated to a point that not even the antidepressants are working. This was brought upon by the usual problems, plus an added problem of hurting (emotionally) a very dear close friend because of a dumb mistake I made.
As a result, I will stop managing my diabetes and go offline for the interim.
Eventually I may return to review others suggestions and comments.
Please pray that my friend forgives me and our relationship is returned pre-mistake time.
Thanks.

Only one in my immedent family too. Had a few cosins with diabetes but I was an only child (I took it at 10) and that took a toll on all conserned.
