[QUOTE="richieh, post: 87320, member: 21067"] Hi, I've used Accu-Chek Aviva for about 5 years now mainly because they were one of the first to offer the management software and PC connection for free(call to register). In that time I've had 3 which I tend to bin 1, demote 1(backup) and use the new as the primary meter. This means I need to keep the strips the same. Unfortunately mine got stolen so I had to replace it with some degree of urgency and found the Aviva Nano... Which is awesome.... For me I have several things I like in a meter: 1) It must have a carry puch which contains everything in 1 place, but be small enough to fit in my suit/jacket pocket 2) It must be quick(most are less than 5s) 3) It must be able to download to a PC and be able to print out the log book 4) Recently I got frustrated whilst in bed as I had enough light to do the test but not enough to read the result(didn't want to wake the wife by turning on the light). So I wanted a light up display. I'm happy to say the Nano does all this and more. I haven't checked all the features yet(read a manual....) but you seem to be able to tag readings presumeably, this can then be output in the log(lunch, hypo etc). I was offered a meter by my nurse for Ketones but she advised that you shouldn't go looking for these things unless your ill(micro management yadedada) Also I've just been on a continuous 72 hour monitoring system which was interesting to see 3 days worth of results on a graph, well worth asking about. Hope this helps.. [/QUOTE]
