Looking a recommendation for a new meter

[ill3st]

I've been out of the 'game' for a few years now. Latest meter I got was the Contour USB.

It's a bit of a 1st world problem I know but I'm looking some information on these carb counting meters? I was discussing them with a fellow diabetic and she said how good they were.

Any suggestions?

I chose the iBG Star from Sonofi-Avensis, because I can easily attach it to my iPhone 4, and since the readings are logged into the iBG Star program, there's no need for me to carry a bulky logbook around, plus, I can Email a month's worth of Data to my Diabetic Specialist for his/her information...!

Nice idea, I'm on Android though so I'd need one for that OS.

Most meters are PC compatible now and results can be uploaded. Not sure on specific carb counting meters though. Do you mean ones that reccomend a dose based on estimated carbs ?

They are indeed, the USB I use is PC compatible which is handy.

As for the carb counting ones if assume they are ones you enter your offset and it calculates how much you require. I may be describing them wrong lol.

Back again kids. Realised I had this old thread, no point making a new one!

Currently using a Verio IQ meter. Been told the strips for this are being discontinued.

Any suggestions on a new meter? I've got my clinic appointment at the hospital next week & I'll be enquiring about a Libre as a friend got one a while ago on the NHS.

I'd like the ability to graph out my results, either on the meter or via a connected app on my phone. Colour screen on the Verio IQ is nice too, so a colour screen would be of benefit.
