Maybe the Canada vs. US versions are different, I dunno. ALL I KNO IS THIS
UNIT WORKS VERY WELL AND IS ,oops, it’s readings are comparable to the
Glucometer Elite XL I used before and totally relied on. Especially since
they’ve come out with those new test strips.

I have a program that I have used for several years with the Profile; I
have been thinking about getting the software for the FastTake but have
been waiting for more opinions first. As I said in a previous post, I
finally got tired of all the hassle, and concluded that logging the
moving average from the Profile was about as good and a lot easier.

Are you sure we are talking about the same meter? I have a FastTake,
and it does not have screens for setup like you describe…

That change to mention to MMOL/L was specifically noted as one NOT to
change; it would not work. It has to be sent back to the factory for
this change. I wonder if the Canada and US models are different…

David, if you go to setup, clik, select preferences, then view options, then
select either whole blood or Plasma values. Here in Canada we are metric so
I have changed my units of measurement to MMOL/L.

Interesting; there is nothing in my manual about changing the
calibration factor, nor did the tech rep say anything about that when we
were discussing the two calibration factors.

They do caution you NOT to change the units of measurement however. No
real reason stated.
