Thanks guys, just recieved my new One Touch Verio IQ meter, i've been a diabetic since 1985, way back then we had to pay for needles everything, there was no pens no disposable syringes either. When the disposable ones came around I used to use them to they were either hurting or the needle broke as they were £10 for 100 of them, but the heroin addicts received them free, how things have changed, who remembers testing there sugar levels on a colour chart on the side of there testing strip container? Anyway thank again guys for the new meter.

Look forward to your posts..

Yes I remember the colour chart Kevin, you could cut the test strip up to make them go further, my first bg meter was the Reflolux S.
