Aviva is a great meter.

I also have the Ultra 2 and the Ultrasmart, also great meters.

I USE the Aviva, I have MONTHS of strips for it, so, I stick with it. I like it's simplicity and it's logs

The Ultra 2 is VERY nice. I can log pre and post prandial BGs with it, the lighted screen is VERY nice. But I don't use the pre and post prandial features, even though all I have to do is press a button to tell it which I am testing for. Which I "should", really.

The Ultra Smart is VERY neat! It has all sorts of different features, none of which I use. Not that they don't have a use, they are very handy things, and if I were a "better" diabetic, I'm sure I would use them, it's a lack of my own discipline that I do not use those features. Liek the Ultra 2, I don't use those features because I don't typically use those meters as I have a very short supply of those strips. I'd probably teach myself a routine to use these features if I weer emore motivated, such as had strips to use as needed like I have with my aviva.

Now, my multiclix lace device is GREAT! It came with my aviva and I really like the lancet drums.

Down to my point. If I had the same amount of strips for my Ultra 2, I would simply use the multiclix with the ultra 2, while the Aviva is great, IMHO, I think the Ultra 2 offers me some things I REALLY should use, it's good information.

Does this help?
