Answer:
"For almost all persons, blood glucose meters would be considered affordable. Most models run $10-$30, and they last several years. They help diabetics keep their blood sugar in check, as there are tens of millions of people with diabetes, the price is very low due to the amount of the machines manufactured. The testing strips might cost you another $30-$50 a year though. Many people recieve the meters and testing strips almost free through medicare or insurance, you should check with them to see if you are eligible."
