[QUOTE="kegstore, post: 109419, member: 16530"] Bayer Medtronic Contour Link. The main reason I use it is for sending bg readings wirelessly and instantly to my pump, so that it can calculate bolus requirements in combination with carb data. All the pump data gets uploaded to Medtronic's Carelink site via my Mac once a week, and I can then bore my healthcare team to within an inch of their lives with all the reports available there! The lack of coding is useful, as is the relatively small amount of blood required for a test. I also have an Abbot MediSense Optium for very occasional ketone testing which the Contour doesn't do. But neither of them has a backlit screen which is a real pain in the neck sometimes... People worry about different readings with different meters. I don't - just stick with one and you're unlikely to go too far wrong. [/QUOTE]
