Just got my new Bayer Contour in the post! Its purple :D I got it free from an ad in balance. I'm going to try it out and see how it compares to my free style lite. Does any one else have this and can I get software for it?
 
For the soft ware withthe new meter I think you need to get onto Bayer. Good luck with it.
 
Lol, I know. It has a new finger pricker too! That's good because I didn't like the one that came with my freestyle lite so I was still using my 1st one (now 8 yrs old) which is stuck together with sticky tape :D

They have software called Glucofacts:

Doesn't say whether it's free or not. Isn't it funny how we get excited over a new gadget, even one designed to take blood? 🙂

Register and download for free
 
Cheers! I am just having a look now 🙂
 
Software downloaded, cable ordered and I found out that I can order a colourful wallet for my meter too, and its free! I like the rewards thing too, you can collect the pack tops from the test strips and send them off for free stuff 🙂
 
I answered the same ad but haven't heard anything. maybe it's still coming.
 
I've got a lime green one (would of preferred purple, but never mind).

I've stuck with my freestyle for now as I didn't find the finger pricker that much of an improvement over the one I already had.
