I have optimum xceed and yes they will send the software and cable free to you so you can download the results to the computer. I like the xceed because of the foil wrapped strips. If you phone up the company or speak to your DSN then you should get meters for free. I am thinking about getting a mobile, it's a bit big but might be useful for sport.

You can also download the software of the Abbots diabetes care web-site.
The software allows you to add notes, food info and medication information. You can do piecharts, line charts, histograms as well as displaying info in a diary or logbook format.
There are a couple of niggles, if you do control tests then when they are read they appear as a normal reading, and you can't set the control reading flag. There is a work around which is to mark those readings as not to be included, you get a little bin next to the entry. That way you can avoid the blips that would appear.
