Hello, I went for my annual checkup the other day and I won't mention at which hospital. For a couple of years I have been taking my meter with me every time and was always told they wanted it written in a diary, and do it that way. So this time when I went while checking my weight and blood...

Hi, I wondered if anybody else went to the fun run at Rother Valley last sunday. It was the first run I have ever done and I did it for Diabetes UK. The only thing was that out of all the other people running for charity there was only another 2 people running for diabetes which was slightly...

Re: Bayer Contour USB Help??? I don't know if you are having the same problem? but if you are it may be worthing checking the version of Java that you have installed/enabled, and if that is ok I would remove the driver and then re-install the software before pluging the device back in. Guy

I have also made the jump from Accu to the Contour USB, and initialy I am very happy! As I work in IT and like gadgets, it really is well designed for me :) Also I think anything to get people testing is a good thing! Guy
