I haven't seen it mentioned in this thread in regards to test meters, but the ReliOn Ultima from Walmart is the exact same meter as the Abbott Precision Xtra at a slightly lower price. I have the Precision Xtra and buy the ReliOn Ultima strips in bulk from Walmart, and they are reasonably priced, cheaper than the Abbott strips. The meter is very accurate and consistent with my past glucose readings from my Dr.'s lab. The ReliOn Ultima & Precision Xtra read both glucose and ketone strips.
Somewhat off topic: Since my primary measurements with the Precision Xtra are for Ketones, I always found Ketone strips to be ridiculously priced until I discovered a company called Leedstone. They sell Ketone test strips for the Precision Xtra . . . for testing on cattle. They are cheaper and my order was delivered very quickly, and yes, they're the same ones intended for humans. I guess at this point, I'm a farm customer of Leedstone, but hey, they work, and my cattle are very healthy!!!
