So far I'm very happy with it.
I'd been using the regular Contour (this one...)
... but decided to try the newer USB model:
... which is just totally cool.
Although there's things I'd love to see done with the software, It's so much quicker and easier to use than my old hand-written charting system...
And maybe I'm a techno-weenie, but I love having a nice colour screen too, lol.
So far, so good... I like it!
The only downside I've encountered so far was that my insurance didn't cover it... and it's pricey up here... The pharmacy had it priced at $89.99
, Walmart had it priced at $64.97 here (yes, we get ripped off in Canada... $29bucks for this item at Walmart in the US) .... The pharmacy manager said he'd match the Walmart price... BUT being the negotiator I am, I talked him into giving it to me for $49.99 with an additional 100 test strips... (The strips only cost me $13 because insurance covers most of that)...
So my new toy cost me $50 ... As a bonus I now have a backup meter should anything ever go wrong...
