Hi there,

Am thinking about trying a new blood glucose meter. I currently use the glucomen lxplus but cant find anything which has a better spec.

Any recommendations or thoughts?

I started using the Contour USB by Bayer a couple of weeks ago and have to say I'm well impressed, you can plug it straight into your USB port and download your readings and view within a minute. The down-side is the finger pricker, it's just a single lancet device and is rather awkward to use, instead I use my Multiclik device from the old Aviva Nano and it fits OK in the Contour carrying case.

The Accu-chek Aviva Nano is a great little meter too but if you want the software to download onto a PC you have to pay for it.
