[QUOTE="Fujifilm, post: 101378, member: 22250"] I have been using the optium xceed (abott) for years and although its nice and small I hate all three that I have for many reasons although the foil warapped sticks are a good idea. I also have a G2 medisense credit card meter that I love but hate the sticks which error out so many times. BUT I just got sent a [b]onetouch Ultra Easy [/b]and a [b]onetouch Ultra Smart [/b] and I love them both :D The onetouch ultra easy is nice and small, clear screen and fits nice in the pocket so great for when you are out and about and best of all uses the same sticks as the ultra smart. Only small down side is the fiddly sticks and you would have thought there would have been a small slide compartment on the meter to store the sticks. You don't want to be carrying a small tub of sticks about. The onetouch ultra smart is great for all you carb counters. You can record, carbs, protein, calories. etc. The bit I am made up with is being able to record insulin taken and what time I took it, (has input for tablets as well and pumps). You can record your health. ie. feeling hypo. You can enter your health check results such as Hab1c. Basically all the things you mean to write down but forget to do. :D and it also sucks blood up the sticks like a leech. :D so the tiniest amount is enough. The only gripe with this one is the writing for the data input on the screen is a bit small not a problem if your eyes are good. I am very happy with them both and customer service was excellent. Also free data cable and software available to upload info to computer. My main moan about meter manafacturers is that they do not take into account that a lot of peeps want a meter thats easy to carry about in the pocket, nice case is great for the office or the handbag but what about on a building site, in the garden. If I am not feeling too good I want to get it out my pocket and test quick as possible. Just waiting for the next generation of meter which I hope will use menu systems like mobiles and the ability to type information into them. In fact I want a meter thats a mobile phone as well, and when it is opened up has "I am diabetic" on the screen and displays my info, and has a direct dial button to someone who knows what to do in an emergency, and, and, and :mrgreen: [/QUOTE]
