Found out Medicade will only cover TRUE METRIX meters and TRUE METRIX strips. I know nothing of these, any input or option of these will be most appreciated. Really want to use my contour because of reliability and associated app.

I think there are a number of members that have used the True Metrix meters with good results. Maybe not as good as Contour, but adequate if my memory serves me right. You can always buy strips off Amazon for the Contour. Not free, but pretty cheap.
