    Walmart is changing their meters from the 'Relion' brand to the 'Arkray' brand. Arkray has always made the Relion's so this isn't a big deal, we just need to change our instructions to new people. The same strips fit them. Here's the new one that WAS the 'Confirm'.

    I wish this explained why they are out of the Mirco/Confirm strips constantly here in San Diego. Both use the same strips. I went in there the other night, and they were O.U.T. out! Nothing on the shelf, nothing in the back, nothing. My husband went tonight, and they were out! My theory is that they want to force everyone to buy the new meters such as the Relion Ultima, and I did. So, this is interesting news that these Arkrays are practically the same right down to the strips.
