The meter I use is the ReliOn Ultima from Walmart. A box of 100 ReliOn strips costs $39. I think I've heard that other chains such as Walgreens & Kroger offer their own brands for lower prices too. I've had no reason to doubt the accuracy of my meter - two months ago when I had labs done, my meter registered 114 fbg at the moment the tech drew my blood, and the lab came back with 112. I sure can't quibble with that.
