if you are using a onetouch meter you should upgrade it

There are new ISO guidelines coming into place in May 2016. At the moment the standards that were published are from 2003 (ISO: 15197:2003). In 2013, an updated set of standards (ISO: 15197:2013) were published and these newer standards will need to be met blood glucose meter manufacturers by the end of May 2016.

Because of this, the meter manufacturers HAVE TO upgrade us to the latest technology meters - which basically have improved accuracy.

If you have a OneTouch/Lifescan meter, you can upgrade here to Verio or Verio IQ:

You can choose a USB car charger too but I don't think the Verio has a USB port so I don't know why you would if you did 🙂

I do wonder why people are only upgrading recently, as you would have thought they had 10 years to do this... so why only 12-16 months before!
