[QUOTE="Jaylee, post: 1398777, member: 101136"] Ah, I see... Well the practicality of carrying a pen & indeed a meter is like having your own pancreas in yer pocket.. I mean. I remember the old days lugging about vials, glass syringes & a chemistry set to test pee sugar... I put the "Mars Rover" to shame! When the first pens came out in MDI regime they were about 10mm longer, bland looking in a "Windows 95 PC" sort of way, made of brittle plastic.. The new ones are built like iPads! Blood meters were bigger when they came out.. Nowadaze..?! Some thing like the USB next has a bright colour screen & looks like a Dongle or an MP3 player.... The "impact on day to day life" means I can wake up the following day & look forward to "Tomorrow world".. ;) If you could manage to work out an accurate ram mechanism that shortens the pen by about 4.5cm? You will be hailed as a GOD! [/QUOTE]
