After reading that hale, I can't wait for next week. Also on a personal note it will allow me to let my kids get involved with testing. As my 9 year old is always on at me, because she wants to help with testing. I also like the idea of the blood ketone, my only thing is that the InsuLinx lite...

But with those self funding, like myself, when it comes out ( with hubby's help :)) hopefully it should bring the price down a bit, in time and when Nice, see the value of it, they may fund via the NHS, fingers x.
