Been using Pip pen needles for some time now. I like them. They're comfortable to use and flow well.

Discovered they also have a glucometer. Starter kit is cheaper than buying the meter and test strips separately. They also have a subscription.

But you can't buy the starter kit without subscription. All buttons to buy it add the subscription kit, not the non-subscription kit.

Super deceptive dark pattern.

Accu-Chek Guide Me starter kit costs around $60 to $90. Test strips are 40 to 50 cents per strip.

ReliOn Platinum is a rebranded Accu-Chek meter (Instant?) with Accu-Chek test strips (also Instant?). Starter kit is less than $20 and test strips are 18 cents per strip.

If you're not sure about ReliOn's reliability, but trust Accu-Chek, this is a good cheap option.
