OK, I'm on countdown!
First impressions - easy to apply, but not totally pain free- a little discomfort, but not as bad as a flu jab - but that might be because I'm a needle wimp and I made the mistake of looking inside the applicator - I expected to see a tiny little filament to reassure myself but instead, there's a bloody big needle! No-one told me that!!! Seriously, it's not that big, but if you don't like needles, don't look in the applicator! No pain or discomfort now it's on though. I've put my tee shirt back over it, but I can't stop myself touching it to make sure it's still there!
Other impressions:
No Freestyle test strips, so you can't check it against the blood meter or check that part of the system is worrking unless you normally use those strips.
It doesn't let you set your target range below 3.9mmol - I wanted to set mine to 3.6mmol as that's what I use as my lowest acceptable reading (even DAFNE agrees with me on that!)
The reader is about half charged when it arrives, so put it on charge as soon as possible.
That's it for now.
