Looking to Trade my One Touch Strips in for Contour Next Strips

"Yes, I wish they had more companies and pump options out there. I have not had bubble problems though I don't check, but have had 4 pumps fail on me in less than a month, and 2 CGMs. I am also so sick of multiple techs on the phone trying to…"

It malfunctioned on me when I had just biked 10 miles and was taking a ferry to a middle of nowhere island. Completely stopped working, NO buttons would do anything it was just frozen...long…See More
