The meter is ok because you drop a cylnder of 15 strips in and dont have to code each time.I feel it is a good meter but the pouch to carry it in leaves a bit to be desired.Of all the meters I have used I havent found one yet that lets you dispose of the used strips in a container within the pouch. What are we supposed to do after each testing. Its not nice to leave the strips in a public place with them being contaminated with blood.I place the used strips along with the used sharps in the empty drum that the test strips come in untill I can empty them into a sharps bin. The probelm with this is that I dont have a spare drum to insert into the machine when it runs out, as I use the gap in the pouch for the spare drum to have  my disposing drum. Why cant the pouches have a little extra room in them to allow for safe hygenic disposal of used sharps/strips when you are out and about in the high street/ work/ clubs etc.Perhaps someone can tell me if there is a meter out there that may cover this niggle.  :| Also I would like a meter that is back lit. plugs into a usb port to download data instead of having to request leads and Infra red scanners to upload data onto my computer.Does anybody know of any such meters? I have the exceed meter too, to check for Ketones but it would be nice to have more meters than just the Exceed that reads both Ketones & blood Glucose dont you think?Yes I find it a pain having to have my thumbs looking like an old mans with all the holes inflicted by my varing pricking devices. Dont you wish you could have a pricking devise that instantly collected the blood as it enters your body and that was also as a testing strip on the meter (ALL IN ONE) then you wouldnt have to faff about placing a drop onto the strip and it would all be done instantainly. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /> Any budding inventors out there.  Patent not at Patents office yet!</blockquote>
