I’ve been playing with the Ultra Smart, and if I didn’t already have a Palm with EzManager software, I would consider it.
Here’s what I hate about it — you can’t upload data to it. You can manually enter data, but can’t do it with the software.
It also takes up a lot of purse space.
So I doubt it will be my main meter, unless Animas makes it the only meter that talks with the next pump. I’m quite sure and I bet the sale of Animas will clinch the deal, that Lifescan meters and the Animas pump will be tallking soon. That’s the only feature lacking from the Animas pump that the other big two have.
Actually it probably won’t be any of the existing meters as they aren’t IR. Just thought of that. They are going to have to come up with a new one.
If I were to come up with a perfect meter, it would have IR, and communicate with a pump, it would have a flashlight on the stirp like the Flash and be Flash sized. The strips would also show you how much blood is in the strip. I like that in both the Ultra and Accu-Chek Strips.
So I haven’t decided yet, but I still have a few months to decide.
