I'm curious to know how the replacement meters supplied by BD are doing. I recently saw where someone is having trouble with theirs and decided to give up on BD and replaced it with another type meter.

They upgraded the software to fix the problems they had been having back in april. And they replaced all the bad meters. The new meters are working good.

I'm on about my 6th BD meter, and I finally have one that is pretty accurate and not giving errors! I can't wait to see how long this lasts! It's very nice, because I hav about 400 test strips.

Well I haven't had the misfortune of using the BD meters prior to the software fix, but my Link is great. Haven't had an error yet (besides one when it was cold), and from what I can tell it's as accurate as my past favorite meters. I will be checking it for accuracy when I get my A1c/FBS done, though.
