Hi all.
I'm a newly diagnosed Type 1.5 (LADA), just turned 60.
I was given a 'Contour' glucose meter by the diabetic clinic the same day I was diagnosed and put straight on insulin.
I've been increasing the insulin (Lantus) by one unit every 3 days and have brought my glucose down from 21mm/L to an average of 7mm/L in 5 weeks.
Unfortunately the rapid decrease in glucose level has caused severe vision impairment and I have had to stop work until it stabilises.
I am checking my blood glucose 8 times a day and recording on a Glucose Tracker app.
I have now found an offer from ContourNextONE for a free meter that connects wirelessly to compatible smart phones.
Has anyone taken up this offer?
I understand it uses ContourNext strips which are different from Contour test strips, are these available on prescription?
I really would like to stop the hassle of recording everything by hand even if I have buy a new compatible phone.
