Message: <blockquote data-quote="JMK1954" data-source="post: 2010757" data-attributes="member: 352098">When I phoned Abbot last week over a meter that has ceased to function,  I was told that the ones I have been using for some years have been discontinued. The Freestyle Optium Neo they have sent me apparently allows the user only 5 seconds to get the blood onto the stick. I have severe arthritis in my hands and consequently drop items like meters and sticks, so this is going to cause me a problem.I assume that the testing sticks for the Freestyle Lite will be produced for at least a couple of years yet,  judging by previous experience, so will continue to use my remaining meter for as long as the sticks are available.Please does anyone know of a glucose meter that allows longer than five seconds to get a drop of blood onto the stick ?</blockquote>
