Think of it like this, if you gas gauge doesn't work on your car but you are pretty sure you have fuel because you put gas in every week, why bother to fix your gas gauge? Kinda doesn't make sense does it? I did that for a while when I was first diagnosed I was hovering around 89 to 96 with my...

I may do this as well, the price for test strips is great. I thought Contour was the best around at $26 for 70, $17.88 for 100 strips. That is a good deal. I think I need to switch too.

That is interesting I know that if you change a dog's food they will sometimes get an upset stomach and diarrhea, maybe that's why the metformin I am taking now doesn't bother me nearly as bad as the metformin I took a couple of years ago. I was thinking they're all the same but since you...

I use a few different meters, the Dario uses an adapter that hooks up to your phone and takes up very little space, but I don't love the app that it uses. I also us Mysugr app with my Contour next one and Accu-check guide me, those to sync with Mysugr. The Dario is just too expensive for strips...

Hey guys I have a question for you I know what the manufacturer says about this but have any of you kicking test strips out of the vial and put them into a more convenient container that is just as waterproof. The ones that I get like most are in a small round vial kind of like 35 mm film would...

Just curious to see what other apps people use to track their Blood sugar numbers. I've used several over the years. I've used the one that comes with my Contour Next One, The one that comes with my Dario and of course I've written it down on paper. But the one that I seem to like the best is...

All make sense. I had been diagnosed in 2016. I am not new but others may be. But I think I will stick with my Dario ot Accu-Chek for now.

This is kind of the reason why I don't want to migrate to that because I'm hearing too many horror stories about how it needs to be reset all the time and there's always problems like this. I have been using my Accu-Chek for over 4 years now and haven't had one problem. So I just don't think...

Thanks for the response I just thought I would see what others thought.

Does anyone have any information on the Pogo glucose monitor? I was thinking this would be a really good way to go but I haven't heard much of anything about it. I just found out about it earlier today I guess it's been out for a few years but I haven't heard much hype about it. I'm assuming...

This is why I don't use anything like a constant monitor because I don't want to see these kinds of errors things like this really tick me off. So I'm using the my sugar app with my Accu-Chek guide me.

Well I am 53, male and got diagnosed in 2017. Taking Metformin for now as I ignored it up until last month. From San Antonio Texas. I am using Accu-chek Guide Me with My sugar at wirelessly. I am experimenting with Dario but the All-in-one contraption is kinda harder to use than the Bluetooth...
