Hi all,

Atm i'm using the Optium Xceed. I also have a One Touch Ultra Smart but it's wasted as i find that this is too big & also heavy for my handbag, i also don't like the velvety feel of the case, what i do like is the meal flagger etc. Please can anybody let me know what the One Touch Ultra 2 is like?

Thanks
 
I swear by my Freestyle Freedom Lites, they're easy to use and reliable. I was given one by my oroginal doctor at diagnosis and the other I got free from Abbotts when it seemed the first one was malfunctioning (I'd been given the wrong strips!)
 
Carol has the OneTouch ultra 2, but she literally uses it to test her blood, we don't flag anything on it. The case is a nylon case.

If you like OneTouch and want a small one, why not try the UltraEasy?

Unfortunately you won't be able to flag anything on that. It's just a simple tester.
