Comment:
I liked most everything about the meter except the cost of the test strips. Since my plan focused on one touch, I was paying retail for strips. Abbot has a discount card, but it is difficult to use at the pharmacy.

Comment:
Small, light and easy to carry on the go. I test pre-meals and before bed, 4x so the alternate upper arm sites are a godsend for the fingertip method. I take it to the endocrinologist and she plugs it into her computer. I still keep a daily log, but it's so convenient to have that info handy, especially if you test away from home and catch up on the diary later. Did I mention I can feel with my fingers again? One note to Abbott labs: I'd like to see the test strips in a perforated tears-off type sheet(like those wire twist ties that come with plastic trash bags) rather than in those tiny bottles. My chubby fingers never get just one. Thanks
