I ordered my Blood pressure machine on Thursday and gave my works address as the delivery target. The terms of delivery were 3 working days. I was worried that they would try and deliver it tomorrow but my work is closed. After a bit of detective work, I managed to get a phone number for them and cleared the situation up. Most companies, when you give a work or office as the destination, they will only deliver on working days. So if I don`t get it today, it will be Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday next week. I received my tablet dispenser yesterday. It is massive, a lot bigger than I expected 10"x6" and you can take individual days supply of tablets to save carrying the whole thing about. I will fill the compartments with tablets tonight. Kenny
 
My blood pressure meter came today. Everything that should be in the package is in it. It was delivered to my workplace, so I will wait till I get home before setting up and testing it. I have a Doctor`s appointment on Friday so I will see what happens then. Having bought my own pressure and glucose meters, I have almost as much equipment as my local Medical Centre. They have 2 pressure meters and 1 glucose meter and share them out on a rota or "needs" basis. Which is no way to run a centre but they lack funding, which is why bought my own. Maybe I could hire my stuff out to them and make a bit of extra cash:) Kenny

Looked at all the kit.Downloaded the software and will be getting a USB/micro cable. It looks straightforward; though learning how to use the strips and lancing device looks a bit tricky but I will just have to learn:-) Kenny
