I'm just amazed that with my history of not being able to work things out very accurately I wasn't told about this ages ago.I use this meter and it is great. I have had mine for ages and it is a godsend as it works it all out for you. Definitely helps you keep track of things
As far as I'm concerned, the only thing that I'd like to improve about the 'Expert' is the case. It's a fiddle getting it in and out of the elastic. I also have a one touch verio that has plastic clips at each corner so you can easily use it whilst in the case, or remove it very easily. There is so much button pushing required by the Expert and the elastic strap gets in the way. I'd happily buy a better case, but I don't think one is available.
No - that's the first thing I tried.Found that to be the case too, will the Expert meter not fit into the One Touch Vario Case?

Hi - My verio is more square and the clips fit over the corners. How does yours actually holdThat's EXACTLY what I did with mine. Meter, accu-chek fastclix and a canister of test strips fit perfectly in my verio case. The putter shell is also a bit more rigid to protect it. View attachment 17701
I can understand the reason that some training is advisory, but perhaps it could be replaced by an instruction program - i.e. click next when you have done this, followed by a diabetes nurse consultation a week or so later just to check that all is well. At least that would save on one of the costs. I am hoping that the meter might develop further. For example advising how many carbs to eat if you are below range, but not actually hypo before bed. And (although this doesn't affect me) having alternative settings for different types of day, as someone on one of my other posts said that this meter wouldn't suit them as their insulin ratio varied on different days of the week etc. This was also the case for someone on my training course who said that working days were so different from non working days and the nurse admitted that the meter would not be able to cope with that.The hours training on the Expert is useful @Snapsy, once the features of the meter (like the time blocks) have been explained the manual is self-explanatory.
Pleased all is going well with your pump
where did you find the silicone case for the actual meter?That's EXACTLY what I did with mine. Meter, accu-chek fastclix and a canister of test strips fit perfectly in my verio case. The putter shell is also a bit more rigid to protect it. View attachment 17701
mine does the carb count to eat when low now, so i dont know if i might have a newer version? but yeah id love if i could set one set of ratios for weekday and weekends as they are very different in terms of activity!Hi - My verio is more square and the clips fit over the corners.
