How much should I expect to pay for diabetic testing supplies?

I need Ascensia Contour test strips and lancets MICROLET. I'm on a tight budget and wanted to get an idea before I go to the store. Will most insurance companies pay for these things? Holy Cow! I had no idea that it costs so much. I live in Germany and all my diabetes medicine for free. But I guess you live in the UK today? Sorry, not sure when - to move to England lol! In the UK these are free on prescription. Not sure about the USA, sorry. It is best to check directly with the insurer. And remember, no matter how tight your budget, do not miss the test because it is very important for your health. If you live in the United States, asking the CEO of a prescription, call your pharmacy. You should expect to pay your normal copay rules mark the bands (I paid $ 30) and about $ 10 for The Lancet (they cost $ 10 I do not think that all the insured). Without recipes, a box of 100 strips costs about $ 100. Caro, eh? Good luck! Yes, most insurance will pay for bandwidth! If the meter you choose is what they like, pay for this other way of doing good will pay 50% and the cost of the bands. Bands average of 1 € per tape without insurance! Diabetes is a very expensive disease to have. E-mail sites on TV does not show that should be on social security benefits for the version of hardware. The convenience of receiving the material every 3 months, email is good, but still must pay what the insurance company will not cover. Co-payments, etc lol we are careful and do not skimp on supplies. A few meters at low prices and supplies may give false results once again testing or medication errors.
