[QUOTE="Heathenlass, post: 857330, member: 84861"] What [USER=21372]@copepod[/USER] said :) My advice is to have a smaller and efficient meter that's easy to carry round, I like the Accucheck Mobile and my current favourite , the Contour Next USB. The latter fits nicely with a finger pricker and strips in a small neoprene camera case with clip from that posh shop, Poundland ;) Another identical case carries jelly babies for unobtrusive hypo stoppers . Both are small enough to clip on to a belt loop or carry in your pocket. I also used a metal pen clip ( sold in stationers ) to carry my novopens around , with spare needles in the camera case for the meter. Oh and remember to log your readings etc, rather than a log book, use a phone app that is quick and efficient . MySugr is a good one, but ensure you turn the sound for that blasted monster OFF ! :D ( It sounds like a soul in torment when your bloods are out of range - trust me, it's not a good sound for people to associate with you ! ):D Signy [/QUOTE]
