I’ve got about 4 of these meters lying around with an untouched prescription of 600 test strips. I’m going to pass them out for Halloween.

I feel like George on Willy Wonka when the teacher says “what do you mean you only bought 3 candy bars? I can’t do math in that… Let’s say 30.”… Or something to that affect. 😃

No need for more…

I absolutely agree. I actually only use one. 😁 But I like to keep a bunch of spares ones mostly to make me feel like I’m not organized.

My endo pretty much is just checking for lows, to scold me for. Just coincidence, but most of the low BG checks are on the meter I left home.

Actually, just kidding. They only download occasionally, and we never review details or carbs, basals etc. They do in office A1C, I’ve averaged 5.6-5.8 the last few years, and we rarely discuss day to day management, BGs or diet.  
They are really good at getting my scripts and approvals turned around quickly. 😃😃

Then I’ll be ready with these… full aerial attack. No babies, toddlers, fragile-looking school-aged children or pregnant ladies. Just teenagers or anything resembling one.

I’m going to be a middle-aged, slightly overweight housewife…

I have always dressed as a dentist, but this year I’m going to dress as a slovenly retired guy.

Don’t know which is more scary.
