Well its been a few months since i first posted, basically late last year august ish i was diagnosed as type 2
now 1.5 stone lighter blood sugar 3 month test thing came back at 6.2 today my cholestrol lvl is up abit to 6.7, probably the remains of xmas. still managing this by diet alone no tablets yet, still waiting to have my eye test

anyway with regards to self testing kits i got another 1 today makes 4 now i think, what i am looking for is one that i can conect to my pc via usb to download and save the info into a spreadsheet. has anyone got one that they can recommend?
must be usb as i have no infrared on my pc.

many thanks
 
Well done you on all those good results.

As for meters using USB there are several which use a cable and a USB port. Here is a link to info about meters fro our own Community pages :

The first is the Contour USB. Checkout the others.

Personally I use a Lifescan OneTouch UltraSmart which connects via a USB and the software, which is a free download has a multitude of functions which negates the need for spreadsheets. The meter itself can display graphs and loads more. Great device.
