My bayer usb as just died on me,that or its turned into a vampire as it keep telling me theres not enough blood on the test strip.Weird but i got a little panicked with the situation,me and that meter have been together for around 4 months now :( lol,would I be able to get a replacement without paying for it?!?!? it say that they have a potential of lasting up until 5 years,as you can see mines lasted nowhere near that amount of time :(
 
Best to get in touch with the customer care line and see if they will send a replacement meter ,they usually want to keep your custom so that you buy the strips etc

@wiserkurtious you're type 1 so if bayer can't sort you out, go to your GP/Diabetes clinic and they will provide you with a tester and strips if required.
