Good evening one and all.
Been a tad busy recently with this and that. Missing the chats, trials and tribulations of the forum.
So why am I here now?
Well ......
New home,
New doctors surgery.
New blood glucose monitor :banghead::banghead::banghead:.
Now I’m always happy to give anything a chance, but I’d like any feedback on the new meter I’ve been prescribed.
It’s a Nipro Trueyou.
My initial thoughts are.......cheap, tacky, probably unreliable and affordable ( nipro’s big selling point:))
I’m currently 4 hrs in with it so obviously things could change, especially with what some of you people may offer as feedback.

Please someone tell me that this is a great piece of kit and not a whole load of s**t.

I've had the same monitor as you for a couple of years. Never had to replace it. It seems reliable.

An innocent FG thing, Cumbs, and mice are to pull coaches, not to shave so they can grow false ears made of cow cartilage, test new drugs . . . And innocent little bunny rabbits are free to nibble the grass. But ecoli, well, they can make my insulin any time.

Both funny and winner BUT can only click on one. I am not allowed to swear in front of customers, now ould I either. But have thrown a few flamingos in over the past week or so. I do get some extreme looks on times - well 90% of the time :)
