[QUOTE="urbanracer, post: 2614637, member: 140811"] All glucose monitors on sale in the UK conform to the same ISO 15197:2013 standard for accuracy as a minimum so I wouldnt worry too much about that. The [URL='https://www.diabetes.ascensia.co.uk/products/contour-next-one-meter/']Contour Next One[/URL] (which I use) is shaped like a USB stick and I find it a comfortable size to carry around. The [URL='https://www.diabetes.ascensia.co.uk/products/contour-next-meter/']Contour Next[/URL] has an 800 reading memory. This might be useful if you're a commercial driver and need to show several months of past testing history to DVLA. The manufacturer (Ascensia) claims that it exceeds the requirements of a later standard ISO15197:2015 so if accuracy is major concern for you then take a look at this. The [URL='https://www.diabetes.ascensia.co.uk/products/contour-plus-blue/']Contour Plus[/URL] looks to be accurate to the 2013 standard. If you have decided to go down the Contour route then I'd suggext taking a good look around their [URL='https://www.diabetes.ascensia.co.uk/']website[/URL] [/QUOTE]
