As people continue to struggle to make ends meet, the Company noted, diabetes patients also face the recurring cost of testing supplies, including test strips and meters. As store branded glucose monitoring systems, Home Diagnostics said its TRUE family of products "costs significantly less than the national brands."
According to a CNN poll, one in three respondents said they had cut back on necessities such as food or medicine because of the economy. To provide affordable diabetes care products without sacrificing quality, retailers, including CVS, Rite Aid and Walgreens, partner with Home Diagnostics for their store branded diabetes testing supplies. Blood glucose monitoring products manufactured by Home Diagnostics can typically save people with diabetes up to $400 per year on diabetes supplies* in comparison to competitive products and are covered by Medicare, Medicaid and most third-party insurance providers.
The Company said that its diabetes testing supplies, including the world's smallest blood glucose meter, TRUE2go, offers technology at an affordable price. About the size of a quarter and small enough to fit in a pocket or purse, TRUE2go attaches to the top of a vial of test strips and offers patients the convenience of on-the-go testing to help them better manage their diabetes. TRUE2go also features no-coding technology and a small sample size that make it more convenient for diabetics to test their blood glucose levels more often, allowing for greater control of their glucose levels.
"The availability and affordability of high quality blood glucose monitoring supplies is crucial for diabetes patients. Unfortunately, the cost of diabetes testing supplies, combined with the financial strains of a recession, can force some patients to sacrifice their well-being by testing less frequently," said Joe Capper, president and CEO of Home Diagnostics. "At Home Diagnostics, we develop high quality, state-of-the-art products like TRUE2go that are comparable to name brands. Our products offer patients the best of both worlds - tremendous value without the need to sacrifice quality of care."
