This seems like a good meter, I am looking for one that syncs with phone into apple health. Anyone have any experience to share for this meter?
 
Hello and welcome I have an Accu-check guide. and love it. I too wanted something that could sync with the phone but haven't tried apple health. I might have to look in to it. I use the mysugr app and that gives me an estimate.

Good luck and welcome!
 
I have an Accu-Chek Instant and it connects through Bluetooth using an app (called 'MySugars I think) but I've not tried pairing yet as I only got it today.
 
I have one and it works well. Not sure of accuracy against other meters as only used this one.
 
Just been out and bought the Accu-Check Instant and can confirm that it does indeed sync with Apple Health through the mySugr app.
 
I may be a little late to the party on this one, however I use Accu-chek Instant (which I bought prior to diagnosis), GlucoRX/Nexus (which my GP needs me to use) and I’m also currently trying out Libre CGM (courtesy of the local healthcare diabetic team). Instant works well standalone and reporting data into the Apple Health app. I also use an Omron blood pressure monitor which does the same and I have an Apple Watch which records my blood oxygen saturation (plus or minus two to three percent.) Interestingly the Instant and Libre are usually within 0.5 of one another whilst the GlucoRX can read as much as 2.2 to 2.5 mmol/L higher. I’m very happy with the Instant (but love the Libre).
