IR1250 — was it worth it to upgrade?

Resounding YES!

I really liked my IR1000. It was easy to program, easy to bolus, etc. BUT I didn’t always check my blood sugar on time and I wasn’t always sure how to correct.

The IR1250 — but the IR1200 would have served the purpose as well — has made all the difference in the world on my control. It reminds me to test my blood sugar and tells me how much insulin I need. I’ve got it set to remind at 2 hours after the last bolus, and if I am busy can ignore it, and it will faithfully remind me until I tell it to stop.

Unfortunately because of the recall, I don’t use the food list enough. I’m also not sure I like the calorie king database because it uses more characters in the food names than the old database did. I’d kinda of like to have both databases!

I also like the fact that it is smaller, very few people notice I have it on which is a plus, but not entirely necessary.
