I think long term we are going to start using the MyLife app with a small, standard glucose monitor - it's what our local NHS trust recommends. Ironically the Accu chek seems to be working again now we've set up the App - maybe it just doesn't like operating in really high temperatures <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /> But now at least we have a back up in place for if it suddenly packs up.It's a massive pain the Accu-check smart meter has been discontinued as it's so handy and yes, as searly said up thread the general move is towards Apps, which work but are more cumbersome as now it's a 2 step process to finger prick and add the result into the App.He doesn't use a pump, but does use a CGM which is great. I can't imagine how difficult and stressful it must have been to manage blood sugars before they came along. Not sure how he would feel about a pump to be honest, that's for him to decide as it's all pretty new to us and he does have good control anyway (HB1AC of 5% at last check). Maybe once he gets older a pump might be something to look into.Thank you again for your replies, they've all been very useful.</blockquote>
