[QUOTE="michaeldavid, post: 383887, member: 57211"] With the use of Betachek Visual testing strips (plus the usual kind of electronically read testing strips - sc. OneTouch Ultra), I have EFFECTIVELY continuous blood-glucose monitoring at a tiny fraction of the cost of the systems I see described above. Regarding convenience, I might point out that soon after I first became diabetic, I returned to work as a motorcycle messenger in London. And I was testing my blood-sugar in much the same way then as I do now. (However there was no electronic testing available at that time.) I was then using the visually read, BM strips. (I've no idea what 'BM' stands for.) May I ask why people bother with the highly expensive, invasive equipment when there is a far simpler and very much more effective option available? My HbA1c readings are always close to 5%. (Please see my other postings.) With or without the expensive equipment, can anyone beat that? [/QUOTE]
