The cost of home blood glucose monitoring is not cheap. The cost of each glucose strip can range from $0.30-$1.0. For those who need to check the blood sugars 2-5 times a day, the cost can add up.
For the future, things do look bright. There is an effort to develop a glucose machine which contains an insulin pump, meter a controller and a cellular phone. These glucophones are in the evolutionary phase and currently sell for about $150. Do not be in a rush to buy these devices yet, as preliminary reports indicate that they have a lot of technical problems- means that they suck.
