I was afraid of this … Yesterday my Freestyle Flash meter failed. Switching batteries worked temporarily….<\/p>\n

But I called and was on hold for over 15 minutes — I know, because my Treo told me. Didn’t get a satisfactorily answer but did get the meter working.<\/p>\n

But today it was dead. I called Therasense again, and was on hold for 15 minutes AGAIN, I know, I recorded the time I called. The rep was not friendly, was not very helpful and resisted replacing the meter. Wouldn’t believe me at all, because yesterday’s rep did NOT record the battery problem.<\/p>\n
