Bayer contour USB allows you to log insulin & carbs when you do bm's

Am thinking rather than just logging insulin doses and carbs it will have a bolus advisor. You just work out the amount of carbs your eating and it advises an insulin dose taking into account your current levels. You do however have to input once in the machine your carb ratios. Once thats correct, the machine does all the maths for you. Still a bit to work out though I.e if exercising you have to tell the machine a % to take off etc

I've got a Bayer contour USB meter and all it does is read bg level. Can't input any information into it

The Accu-Chek Aviva Expert calculates insulin doses for you based on the information you enter into the meter, you do need an hours training before being given the meter so I wonder if this is what your dietitian is referring to, can't think why they'd be a waiting list for say a meter like the USB, if you ring the Bayer helpline they'll send you one out for free knowing your type 1 and test multiple times a day.
