I usually use my Onetouch Ultra Smart, but I also have a Onetouch Ultra 2 as a backup and I've just obtained an Optium Xceed, but only for the ability to check for ketones.
I also had an Aviva Nano but passed that on to my dad as he could not get strips for his old meter.

I was given a TrueTrack smart system meter (Home Diagnostics) when diagnosed and that's the one I use but I did get a free Bayer Contour recently and will probably move onto that, keeping the first meter as a backup one.

I'd like a recommendation for a finger-pricker thingy that doesn't hurt please !

[Corrine]

OK Alan - I asked for that !!

 

[Northerner]

Isn't it interesting that there is such an even spread amongst those that have voted so far? Clearly, there is no 'market leader' or 'killer app'!

Bayer Contour with the Medtronic Bluetooth Link and its S*** quite frankly!

To put it in some perspective for you, I would get a more a accurate reading if I were to phone 4 friends and take and average! Its a crock of s**** am I getting that across?

I like one touch. In the USA one touch have a metre with the medtronic link. Thats enough for me to consider emmigration.

I have a OneTouch UltraEasy, OneTouch UlraSmart, accu-chek Aviva, Accu-chek compact (very old school), Accu-chek compact plus and 2 Optiums Xceeds. I used the OneTouch UltraEasy just because it fits in every bag

It seems to be marginally the most popular so far!😱

Other - One Touch Ultra 2. We actually use all the One Touches, we have a couple of each ie the Easy, Ultra 2 and Ultrasmart, back ups for all occasions. We love them and would never change.

Accu-chek Aviva. 🙂
