ADW is one of the least-expensive mail-order houses on the Internet for those who are not covered by Medicaid/Medicare. Until my plan changed to cover all my testing supplies, they were my first-string supplier, replacing Hocks.com (my original mail-order supplier). The idea of setting up a user community to improve customer loyalty and to attract new customers, has been around for a while; however, the entry of smaller/specialized businesses into this marketing approach is relatively recent. It may be that we will just have to look and see how that community develops over time...
