I’ve been using it for a week.
Using the test strips is enough different from the Freestyle, that I frequently screw up the procedure, thus wasting the strip. In fact, Wednesday morning, I wasted 3, then called the company and had them walk me through the procedure. Did it again Saturday and asked for some free test strips to make up for the ones I was screwing up.
I will probably be sticking with it. For a pumper, having a graph of your blood sugars by meal is invaluable. Also, having all the log book information in my hand and organized in different ways is also invaluable. The UltraSmart does a bunch of stuff EzManager doesn’t do, both the Palm and PC version.
However, you can’t transfer data back and forth between the three, which is sad.
I did see that the FDA issued an approval on something Lifescan called an ONETOUCH ULTRA 2 BLOOD GLUCOSE MONITORING SYSTEM. I am wondering if that is going to communicate with the Animas pump.
