I do on occasion (very very rarely) use Animas’s Diasend software, and this meter is compatible to be uploaded using Diasend, which is another bonus.
But the point is, I could for no additional cost to me.
#ONETOUCH DIABETES MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE VERIO IQ DOWNLOAD#
Thing is – I don’t like the OneTouch software, so I don’t download my meter.
Right now it seems I get about 1-1.5 weeks out of a charge, but I don’t think I’ve ever fully charged it (for a few hours), so if I did I’m sure I’d get the 2 weeks out of it that it’s supposed to get.īecause it’s rechargeable it comes with a USB cable – which is a huge bonus because now I can download my meter without paying for the OneTouch cable I never wanted to pay for. So I love that this meter doesn’t require me to run through a supply of batteries. I’ve been experiencing a lot of inner turmoil lately about medical waste and how much we as diabetics are expected to use and dispose of – things made of plastic, primarily. I also appreciate that this meter comes with a rechargeable battery. The less I feel like a ‘sick person’ the better. Now be honest – isn’t it the sexiest blood glucose meter you’ve ever seen? As other d-bloggers have pointed out, it does look more like an MP3 player than a medical device – which is cool with me. I am really in love with this meter for a lot of reasons, besides its ability to alert me to patterns in my blood sugars. A low pattern and two high patterns have been brought to my attention by my meter that I had no clue were happening. I really felt I need a meter that will smack me in the face with that information and let me know immediately what the situation is. Let’s face it – I’m horrible at spotting patterns on my own, despite trying to log things. I was initially really interested in this meter because it alerts you to high or low patterns based on recent readings at similar times of the day. Most of you have heard of the new OneTouch Verio IQ meter, and I know that many other d-bloggers have shared their thoughts on the meter ( Kerri’s thoughts Kim’s thoughts) and while I don’t have a whole lot that’s new to say, I still wanted to throw in my 2¢. Today we are asked to write about whatever we wish, which makes today the perfect opportunity for me to share my thoughts on the new meter I’ve been using for over a month now.
