iBG Star take two!

Alright!!! Now I'm on a roll with the iBG Star and everyday it definitely gets brighter! While there's still a few things I'm adjusting to, the new meter is cozying into my life very well indeed (thanks to the quick pointers from fellow users!)

With my frantic work week (we had a major show open mid-week), I'd only been able to take a second glimpse at the manual (and with my stressful mind this week had no hope of digesting it's pages properly!) so when diabetogenic kindly pointed me in the right direction it was a huge sigh of relief! Now I'm just waiting on my order of blood strips (I was the first at my chemist to request them!) and I'm pretty confident I'll be more in love by the day.


My best start to the day all week!

 I've also ordered the special case so it can stay on my phone and am wondering how many people choose to leave it attached? I'm a little scared of wear and tear...

I tend to throw my (old) blood meter around and sometimes can be a little rough or absent minded when inserting the strip (i.e. it may occasionally bend ever so slightly on entry)... and it proceeded to produce a reading without even noticing anyway. But the iBG Star seems to be a little more delicate and require that tad more focus...I've wreaked 10 blood strips in the last three days to do with strip insertion and blood application, and at around 20c each, I definitely want to refine my style!

Perhaps it's akin to driving a Toyota and then stepping into a shiny new Jaguar... I know which one I'd rather choose, even if it did take more care!

Most importantly though, I cannot go past how wonderful the customer care has been. Impeccable.
