Hi, since being diagnosed in 2008 I have controlled my T2 fairly well through diet no medication. I use a ACCU-CHEK Compact Plus monitor which I really like. Does anyone know where I can purchase a new monitor the same?
 
Check the website. Sometimes they will send you a free one.

I checked there website, seems they've stopped making them. I have emailed them. Thank you.

Try the USA ebay? There are tons of different models listed.

The link is a specific one, but once you are there you can search. Or you can go to the home page? and switch to the USA site. I could be looking at a wrong model. You will also have to make sure they will ship to you.

Thank you I will give it a try. Never thought of doing it that way :/
 
A us one will probably measure in mg not mmol. Not sure if this model allows you to switch between them.

Have you looked at other models? It’s odd for a short time when you swap but you soon adjust.
 
Most of the meters have both settings and you choose which you want. Because Canada measures in mmol and they are our next door neighbor, most things are just made being adaptable to either. But I agree, you should double check whatever you buy to make sure.

I have the test strips for the compact plus monitor and think swapping to another model will make it difficult to get test strips from my GP. So, was trying to stay with the same monitor if at all possible but realise I might just have to give up and change.
