I am seriously thinking of switching to the Aviva meter. Mainly because the co-pay is considerably cheaper than the Freestyle strips, and partly because Freestyle is paired with two pumps I don’t care for. Also, my last two “visits” with customer service on the phone left an off taste.<\/p>\n
One of my issues with the Aviva meter, was the non-ability to download, which you now can. I sprung for the $29.95 for the Compass software, which I am impressed with. It was easy to load and works well.<\/p>\n
The good news, is that the IR port that came with my pump works just fine with the Aviva meter — one of the things I was hoping for. I didn’t want to have to deal with another peripheral.<\/p>\n
I sure wish the meter would work directly with EzManager and my Treo, but that’s just hoping for too much. <\/p>\n
And yeah, Roche is Distronic — or should I say Roche bought Distronic — but I kinda of like the Roche pump, too bad they have never been able to sell one in the US. <\/p>\n
I’m going to snag one of each of the Lifescan meters from my CDE on Tuesday, try each of them for a couple of days and decide which I’m ultimately going to switch too.<\/p>\n
All of them sadly, take up more purse space (and pocket space) than the Flash.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
