[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 2138303, member: 372207"] I've just tried, and although it was a bit of a hassle I found it doable to test one handed with my non dominant hand. The biggest problem was opening the zipper of the little case, but you can leave it unzipped. I have a very simple meter (CareSens Premier, but it would have worked with the other 2 meters I've used as well). The tub of test strips has a little thingy sticking out of the lid which you can push with your thumb while holding it in the same hand. I used the finger pricker in the same way, it was easier than I thought. For pushing the strip in the machine I found holding the meter in my lap worked a lot better than putting it on the table. So perhaps, with some practice your husband can manage as well if no one knows of a one handed meter. All the best for the both of you, I hope the am will be as good as new shortly! [/QUOTE]
