I like the UltraLink meter, and I will use it and hope that MM changes their mind about a driver for the Solutions software that I bought 4 months ago..... The CareLink USB communications device is not supported in Solutions or PAL. |
Here's my plan: I will use the new U2 meter to transfer reasonably accurate BG readings to pump, and use the pump to send all the data through the
old BD Paradigm meter to the computer (via USB cable) to crunch data with Solutions Software. I think this should work. I did finally find someone at MM who would send me a free BD USB cable (they wanted $25!), and I'm supposed to get it Friday.
The other alternative, if you want something more direct, is the ComLink, which goes directly from the pump to the computer and is compatible w/Solutions. Only problem: they charge $99 for it
I talked to what seemed like a few dozen people at MM, Lifescan, Nova, Sanvita, etc. (and spent *a lot* of time on hold), and at least one knowledgeable-sounding person said that I wasn't (clearly) the only one not wanting to use Carelink, and that they take note of these sorts of feedback for future products. Was she making nice because she was my 100th transfer?
Who knows?
Fingers crossed.
And thanks for all offers for the cable. If they manage to not send me what I need (
) I'll be in touch.
