[QUOTE="Shax72, post: 139490, member: 27277"] Forum Virgin....so be careful ok !!! I've had a Contour USb for a month now...its the best meter I have ever had....small, feature packed, and technology wise its just convenient for me to shove in my laptop @ work and home to see where things are. As a Quarter Centrury diagnosed diabetic ( I was in a hospital bed, the day they pulled the Mary Rose out the water, in Peterborough !!! ) my control has wavered the last few years cos I think I know better !..... but testing be it a pain in the posteria is just fundamental. And all the kit you have to carry around makes it all the more of a pain. Thing is, if you feel fine, testing obviously confirms that, you do nothing, life is too hectic ( for me anyway) to continuously jab me finger ! All that said... the contour being no code and the built in reminder, makes it easier to not think about things but keep tabs on levels. A month ago I was suffering from yo-yo syndrome, up and down like I dont know what. It has settled because I'm accutely aware of BM's now I test regular. its not such a pain in the butt and the kids take a real interest in the results too....which is amusing ! Wanna get me mits on a Mendor tho...........all in one including lancet is ... a belting idea. [/QUOTE]
