Alpha GDH meter and test strips are in the lower price segment of the "B" units to the best of what is currently (summer 2013) can get. Contrast borderline is the sale of test strips just before the expiration date. Had previously Medisana touch where that came from Amazon test strips usually 18 months or more were removed from the expiry date. Now I get today 100 Alpha GDH test strips that already run in 60 days. Something you can not sell more reputable. Where and under what storage conditions, these goods have hidden in the past two years since. It is here but a medical analysis product and not to hammer or nails. So be careful when ordering quarter inventories!
