We ended up just purchasing a new one at Wal-Mart- only $18 and I will for sure fill out the warranty card. I think I had done it before, but we moved immediately after we bought it and things got lost in the shuffle.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04842687454353803647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6001527982718639574.post-22860624464120848062009-03-30T11:33:00.000-05:002009-03-30T11:33:00.000-05:00We've never had a problem with a meter either.

I hope you get them resolved and I hope the move went well!Shamae (Ghost written by Loren her hubby)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14642220903846468776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6001527982718639574.post-19725240365531144682009-03-29T21:36:00.000-05:002009-03-29T21:36:00.000-05:00We are blessed to get a new meter once a year from...We are blessed to get a new meter once a year from Vanderbilt. I have never had one go out. Sometimes you can contact the company and they will send you a free one when you send the broken one back.Melissa's Thoughtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01509544713395681769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6001527982718639574.post-876998475757307062009-03-29T16:25:00.000-05:002009-03-29T16:25:00.000-05:00I dont have any help with the Accu-Check :( We've ...I dont have any help with the Accu-Check :( We've used the Freestyle Lite since Kacey was diagnosed and I had to replace the battery only once in 8 months and it was about 6 months after using it. If you need extra meters, we have 2 Accu-check ones that JDRF gave us and I'd be more than happy to send them to you. We're never going to use them because they just gave us another Freestyle meter that uses the same strips as the meter connected to her pump. Just let me know and I can send them out to you :)Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16355188326211750959noreply@blogger.com
