David, try the One Touch FasTake it’s really small, accurate and has a
user friendly computer interface/program.

programming the complete does take some time and first you have to figure
time schedules into it, but once programed is very wonderful for the graphs
etc and averages you can get from it
i don’t have the computer download stuff but we love it and it is the only
thing our endo looks at in the office even though we also use fast take at
school and elsewheres. it holds six months of bs too and all the info of
exercise, pre meal, carbs, post meal illness, hypos, boluses, etc.
when you get a chance program it (it is really easy) and use it for a week
and look back in the graphs and memories and averages i think you will really
like it although it does take 30 sec to do bs and is bigger than some meters

I have used the Profile for many years, and would be reluctant to change to
anything else.

I have tried several others, including the Accucheck and the various pen types,
and found that making simultaneous readings with the profile and the alternate
system usually produced inconsistent results with the alternate system. I
am always looking for a smaller, faster, simpler system, but keep coming back to
the One Touch as the only one that produces reliable, consistent and repeatable
results.

Example:

I can take three readings with the One Touch and get answers +/- one or two
counts every time. The results from competing systems are often different, and
not the same from test to test.

Also, the lab tests and the Profile agree most of the time within a percent or
two, after allowing for the differences between whole blood and finger stick
blood.

This is not scientific, of course, and is also anecdotal. But it is what
happens with me.

Anyone want to argue?
