| |  Hey Canadians...One Touch UltraMini?
Does anyone know if we can get the One Touch UltraMini here in Canada? I really want one for the summer so that I don't have to carry around a huge bag around when it's killer hot.

| | | Give them a call to find out, it's not listed on the website. I'm hoping for the Wave 3 next summer, since the AgaMatrix rep said it would be released in the states around that time, and the iTest was released much earlier in Canada. That has a single unit with both testing and lancing that's about the size of a pen.
For now I just carry my ultra 2 around in a little shoulder bag, along with the rest of the junk I have to carry. But is the UltraMini any better? It doesn't have a memory at all, so if you keep track, you'll have to carry around paper and pencil too.

| | I'd offer you one of the two I own Injecto, but it doesn't provide results in mmol/l. 
The One Touch Ultra mini actually has a 50 test memory, so if you don't have a pen handy, you can at least review your previous tests (with time/date stamp).

| | That's great peeps, much appreciated. I myself just can't seem to find it anywhere in the GTA...kind of frustrating. Quote:

I am curious about this "pen" thing though. Quote:

| | | If you can't find it, you might try the Freestyle mini. It makes a bulge in your pocket, but my son can shove in the whole kit.
The pen thingy sounds very nifty though!
