Day 13 ~ Meter (#NDAMphotoaday)

Meters, meters everywhere!  But, we really only use a couple of them regularly.

1. PDM (personal diabetes manager) ~ controls Bean's pod 

(insulin pump) and has a built in FreeStyle meter...

and a LIGHT on the test strip port (LOVE)

2. Precision Xtra glucose and blood ketone meter ~ we use it for 

the ketone feature and occasionally for a 'double check' for a BG

3. FreeStyle Lite ~ backup meter if the PDM freaks out 

since it uses the same strips

4. One Touch Ultra ~ Bean's first meter, affectionately called 

the Gold Standard since we would judge every other meter by this one 

for the longest time and still pull it out every once in a while to double

check those "where the hell did that number come from" BGs

5. AccuCheck Aviva ~ never used; LOVE the MultiClix lancing 

device that came with it and Bean uses it exclusively now as it hurts 

WAY less than any other lancing device she's used

6. One Touch Mini ~ was sort of a back up for the Gold Standard, 

but we never got consistent readings, so it wasn't used very much at all

7. Nova Max ~ blood ketone meter; we weren't utterly impressed with 

it's accuracy, so we  moved on to the Precision Xtra.
