All of the above comments about the alarms on the freestyle 2 sound very familiar to.me. I have been using freestyle also since it was introduced and self funded. I tried using my android phone alongside my reader and have to say I find the reader the better option. I would also comment that...

You certainly are trying hard. How long have been diabetic? The longer you are diabetic on insulin the more insulin resistant you become and your dose needs to be increased just to stand still! Exercise is helpful, but usually takes a few hours to kick in and also increases bs initially - or...
