| my new blood glucose meter *ROCKS* nearly painfree
Hi all !
I've been a diabetic for over 20 years (I'm 27 years old).
I recently got an Accu-Chek Compact meter
(comes with Soft-clix pen )
WOW ! The surface area of the strip (which you cover with blood) is so small it requires very little blood.
* Stores the last 100 readings
* You replace a drum which contains 17 strips.
you dont need to enter a code every time you use a new pack as the machine reads the info from the fresh pack.
They also do two other versions , which use strips in the conventional way (which may be cheaper for those who pay for their supplies).
I dont mind injecting my thighs, but found finger pricking uncomfortable. Now I'm testing 4 times a day- and enjoy reading good results ! I wish these were around for everyone years ago !
The *System* cost me <£20 from Boots in the UK.
Really is the best thing since sliced bread !
Try it ! I've already *converted* three people
oh and no I have nothing to do with the company (Roche )
