I am an ex-pat living in Spain and enjoy good health care. However, as I have type 2, I am unable to have test strips prescribed. I changed to Codefree due to cost and bought my monitor from the UK. I have had no problems so far apart from being unable to purchase the optional USB connection cable to transfer data to my PC. I have contacted the manufacturers agent in Germany without success, (there is no agent in Spain) and I am now having protracted conversation with the manufacturer in Korea, who can supply, but require a non CC transaction. I am awaiting details to enable my bank to make a transfer!! Has anyone out there had success in getting this unusual cable? It appears to be an USB to small stero audio plug which I cannot find here in Spain. The software which you can download free, seems to offer some good ways of presenting readings to your dietician.
