Customer helplines that use recorded menus that promise to put me through to the right person but never do - and being ill. Oh, and did I mention customer helplines :)
Personally Ive no idea what this meter is like but if its free it will normally come with some complimentary test strips so give it a go and see what you think.

There is a Bayer Contour XT give away here http://www.diabetes.co.uk/promotions/bayer-meters.html why not get both and see which you prefer. :thumbup:

The BG Star is a great little meter. Nice bright clear display & looks a lot like a mobile phone. Feels very robust to handle aswell not at all plasticy

I used the BG Star for over 12 months and was more than happy with it. It's small and compact and looks just like a mobile phone. Quite classy looking and in a neat black nylon bag. I was pleased with it but my nurse said she had to change it because the strips were so expensive so I had to change to a Nexus. Far bulkier and cheaper looking. All comes down to money in the end I suppose.
