Choosing a small meter for an active lifestyle!
April 28, 2010
Although there are several meters to choose from for those of use with Type 1 diabetes living active lifestyles (I am a technology consultant who travels the world), I have had a tough time finding a suitable meter that has the following characteristics (they usually fail on 1 or more of the points):
- Portable in size and easily worn
- Ample memory and event tagging to replace full-size meter
- Connectivity to some type of data management software on a computer
The top market contenters seem to be the the LifeScan OneTouch Mini Ultra and the new Bayer Contour USB seen below for a size comparison:

Next post will evaluate the winner of my little comparison….. more to come
