I haven't tested ketones for years, but now I'm on a pump my nurse is insisting. She gave me a Glucomen LX Plus to use instead of my Freestyle Insulinx. I HATE IT! About 20% of my tests end in an "E-4" error, wasting a shocking number of strips and making me bleed more and more. My arms look like they're covered in an awful rash because of the number of times I've had to draw blood. And don't get me started on the horrible lancet device with TEETH, which claims to be "virtually pain free"...! I'm using my Insulinx lancet with it.
Anyway I'm going to ask for a different meter when I have my next appointment. Any suggestions for one which does both? I would love to go back to my Insulinx but don't want to carry two meters around everywhere I go.
