[QUOTE="Silas, post: 1169837, member: 70389"] I am currently on the 12 week I HART clinical trial for Reduced Hypo Awareness and I find the meter great for showing me where I am and which direction I am heading so I can tele corrective action before it becomes a problem. I am not certain how accurate it is in comparison with my normal meter (the ACCU-CHEK Expert) as there is quite a wide margin of difference at higher Blood Glucose levels. There is also no audible warning when you are into hypo territory. It makes it so quick and easy to check your reading, any time, even while driving. I have type 1 and have been on insulins for 44 years. Although I do have some warning signs they tend to be fleeting and subtle so are easily missed and result in frequent hypos. This meter will, I hope reduce, my LOWs and my hypos. I cannot for the life of me think why it would be restricted only to type 2 patients. Perhaps it does not tick all the boxes in its current form. What it certainly does is make you acutely aware of what your levels are. For type 2 sufferers, which is a huge number of people, it could transform their lives. I sincerely hope that it will become widely available for type 1s as well, or better still be improved so that it meets all the needs of type 1 diabetics. [/QUOTE]
