My bloodsugar control is terrible and I'm looking to buy something that helps specifically with checking - I don't mind how much it costs, I'm just wondering if anyone has anything/has expereince or recommendations?
I'm currently using a pump but find the checker difficult/annoying to use
Any help appreciated!
 
Hi Beth,

What pump do you use and what meter/checker with it? I have a pump but it doesn't have an associated blood test meter. I use what I want.

Are there any specific features you're looking for? Size? Ease of use?

Hi Beth as you have a pump you need to go right back to basics and basal test. This done by the hour with any blood glucose meter. It's most pumpers pet hate :(
 
Are you on the list for Freestyle Libre? If not, could be worthwhile?
