Home 1C test meter

[Guest guest]

Hi and others.

We looked at the home 1C meter today. The cost was $18.57 at Wal-Mart.

The meter will give you the results in about 8 minutes and it is a one shot.

It comes complete with all of the lances and other crap you would need to do

the one test.

It is made by Bristol Meyers and it is called " Choice " .
