[QUOTE="alkeddie, post: 151728, member: 28955"] Hello all, I've got some questions about the Accu-Chek Mobile device that I was hoping someone with eperience of using it could answer. On Saturday, in desperation (having run out of test strips and being given the wrong prescription by my surgery), I bought an Accu-Chek Compact Plus. I had been thinking about buying one of these for a while so it wasn't a problem. However, since using it there are a few things that I've found irritating and I was wondering if they were any better on the Mobile. Firstly, the motor for dispensing the strips seems quite loud. I work in a fairly quiet office and test my blood regularly while there. I find it a nuisance hearing mobiles etc go off and I imagine it will be the same for other people having to listen to the motor on my blood testing device several times a day. I assume the Mobile does something similar when moving to the next test strip but is it as loud? The other thing that I found surprising about the Compact Plus is the amount of blood required to get a result. My previous meter (a Contour) seemed to require about half as much. I saw a video of someone using the Mobile and (while it was difficult to tell on the video) she hardly seemed to apply any blood. Is this the case with the Mobile? The last question I have about the Mobile relates to the lancing device. I know you get a drum of six lancets with the Mobile. Is it possible to reuse these? I know that you should change the lancet after each blood test but I can imagine the situation where I've use the last lancet but haven't got the necessary amount of blood out of my finger to do the test, Would I be able to reuse the lancet in this case? Any help that you can give with these questions would be appreciated. Many thanks, Ali [/QUOTE]
