[IP] IP: short lancing devices and free meters

[email @ redacted]

Thought that I'd pass this along as I know many have asked about these things 
before.

I was looking for some diabetes supplies online and came across two short 
lancing devices.  I have never seen them in person, but in case anyone wants 
to check them out and let us know - the web site www.diabetic.com has the 
Qwik-let jr. for $9.95 and the Autolet mini two-pack for $6.25 listed under 
SHOPPING ------> DIABETIC SUPERSTORE ---------> LANCING DEVICES.  They are 
the first 3 items listed.  If anyone has used these devices, please write to 
tell us how they are.  The sizes seem to be 1 1/4 inch to 2 inches in length.

The next thing is that I have been looking for a blue Precision QID since I 
saw one at the most recent JDF meeting.  I finally called the MEDISENSE at 
800-527-3339 to ask where I could get one, and they said they could send it 
to me.  Great!  The man asked what meter I was using now, and I told him 
Accucheck Complete.  Since I wasn't using one of theirs - they will send it 
free of charge.  I didn't even realize this until I asked the gentleman if he 
could include the rebate paperwork when he shipped the product, and to my 
delight he said.. oh.. there's no charge.  He hoped that I had an old meter 
to send (it can't be their brand though) but when I told him I didnt think I 
had one to spare, he said no problem, he'd send it anyway.  Hope this info 
helps someone.  Take care!
