A home blood sugar meter with the strips and lancets that go with it.
Quick answer
Global Dynamic Group, a veteran-built medical equipment company, offers the Glucose Monitor & Testing Supplies to TRICARE families across the western United States. TRICARE covers home blood glucose monitors as medical equipment when your doctor orders one. Call intake at 910-527-7081 and a person confirms coverage and availability with you before anything is ordered.
A home glucose monitor reads a tiny drop of blood on a test strip and shows your blood sugar in seconds. The meter itself comes through medical equipment. Test strips, lancets and syringes usually come through the TRICARE pharmacy benefit instead — intake tells you which route each piece takes, so nothing falls through the cracks.

Good to know
- The meter is medical equipment; strips and lancets usually come from the pharmacy
