[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 954047, member: 30007"] That's odd Galja. My freestyle lite came with a micro USB cable, so you should be able to use any micro USB cable with it. Most people find a lancing device that they like and stick with it. You aren't tied into a lancing device by the meter manufacturer unless you are using an all in one like the Aviva Mobile or the Dario systems. I think we overestimate the concern of residual humidity on blood testing strips. They are inaccurate at the best of times and you really should have properly dried hands before blood testing otherwise you run the risk of diluting the blood. As an aside, I've been using the Optium strips for six months and the individual foil wrapping is really annoying too. It's really a bit of a rock and a hard place issue! I'm sure that it will be eventually. Blood pressure is perhaps more of a challenge given the mechanics, and I'm not sure of the value of blood oxygenation figures (it's not something I've seen a need for myself), but really I think the future is a set of sensors that connect with the really powerful computer that most have in their pockets (their smartphone) and real time monitoring from that.
