Just to add - the Nano meter is superb! It uses Aviva test strips, is about at least half the size of the Aviva meter and the display text / figures are LED lit. There isnt a light however where you put the test strip into like the Freestyle meter has, but you can allocate readings as either premeal, premeal with an alarm to go off after your meal, or as a post meal reading, or just an unspecified reading - and then you can get averages of all this data on the meter.
It also uploads to the Compass software and also SmartPix (if you dont use these they are worth enquiring about).
I havent found that battery consumption is high (it uses two CR2032 round lithium batteries frm memory), and with the meter being smaller (but not too small!), it is easy to keep warm when outside in the elements doing exercise. I havent tried using it in extreme cold temperatures, but will do when I go skiing at the end of the month. I did the same as you and filled in an application form online for the meter, so you woill no doubt get yours soon. You will enjoy using it Im sure - I now only use the Nano and have the Aviva as a back up.
Good luck! If anyone has any practical user questions, just let me know!
