    I also have the Beyer Contour USB. Very compact, easy to handle. Doesn't need a lot of blood. Plugs straight into the computer to charge, also to view statistics and print out history.

    Insulin pens

    Hopefully, when Apidra production restarts, you will once again be able to get the pre-filled pens. These inject much better than either of the Solostar or Soloclick pens with removable syringes. Andrew

    SHOULD I BE MONITORING OR NOT ?

    Hi Susan. On the Statins question - I had to give up statins because of muscle (shoulder and hip) pains. It really helped as I gave them up (noticable improvement after three days or so), and is much reduced now, but I'm still on pain killers two years later :-( Andrew
