This seems like a good meter, I am looking for one that syncs with phone into apple health. Anyone have any experience to share for this meter?
 
Hello and welcome I have an Accu-check guide. and love it. I too wanted something that could sync with the phone but haven't tried apple health. I might have to look in to it. I use the mysugr app and that gives me an estimate.

Good luck and welcome!
 
I have an Accu-Chek Instant and it connects through Bluetooth using an app (called 'MySugars I think) but I've not tried pairing yet as I only got it today.
 
I have one and it works well. Not sure of accuracy against other meters as only used this one.
 
Just been out and bought the Accu-Check Instant and can confirm that it does indeed sync with Apple Health through the mySugr app.
 
I may be a little late to the party on this one, however I use Accu-chek Instant (which I bought prior to diagnosis), GlucoRX/Nexus (which my GP needs me to use) and I’m also currently trying out Libre CGM (courtesy of the local healthcare diabetic team). Instant works well standalone and reporting data into the Apple Health app. I also use an Omron blood pressure monitor which does the same and I have an Apple Watch which records my blood oxygen saturation (plus or minus two to three percent.) Interestingly the Instant and Libre are usually within 0.5 of one another whilst the GlucoRX can read as much as 2.2 to 2.5 mmol/L higher. I’m very happy with the Instant (but love the Libre).

I've got this app, but last week they decided to upgrade the app and since then I can't get into it. I've done everthing and nothing works. You'de think that the app makers would have a generic password Etc., for these situations, but no. Most programme writters are 100% illogical and faced with the reality of their app not working, it is, to them, never their fault! Well, it's 100% their fault. Where I come from we have a saying, "if it aint broke, don't fix it"! That prooves that computer programmers are a bunch of nerds who MUST do something, even though there's nothing to do!
Now? I have no app that works because of these nerds, I might just as well get another monitor from another company who's app works with my phone.
I'm very P**** off.

I have one, it syncs with XDrip+, seems to work fine, though it's a shame they don't provide a better case for it all.
