Hi I got one a few months ago. I loved so easy to use and everything recorded directly onto iPhone app. It has graphs, trends and works out averages for mealtimes etc. Unfortunately I've had to stop using it as testing strips aren't given for it on prescription in my area and were becoming costly and also I was having difficulty finding the testing strips even online.

Hi there. I've just brought a spare one as they were on offer in Boots. It is great to be able to get all ther readings on the phone and then print them out for my DSN and Dietician. Also it is less bulky than my previous one which only worked with PC (i.e useless with a Mac!). Fingers crossed my doctor will still be OK with the prescription as I have been getting repeats at the moment. As I see it they are no more expensive than my previous test strips. Only downside is that Boots don't seem to stock the test strips and lancets even though they sell the montitors in the branches. They are availble online from Boots to buy and whilst not instant is a fairly good 2-3 day service to collect instore. I should say that Boots are the only ones to stock the monitors in the UK, which is quite bad as I say the supplies are not easily purchased.
