Accu-Chek AVIVA Nano
I saw the website for an Aviva Nano, and apparently it is only in the UK.
The Aviva Nano has a smaller size, and a glow in the dark display. I live in the USA, but I was dx-ed in the UK. I know the mmol/L measurements and would love to get an Aviva Nano. That would make me change my scripts for Accu-chek strips. I use the MM CGMS so pump comm with the meters are shut off anyway.
I have ROP and that display looks wonderful for partially sighted people.
Trying to email Accu-Chek about this meter are all for naught. Think there's any hope f this meter coming to America?

Nice.
The demo is very slick:

Best of all, the drop size seemed very small.

I like the look of the meter but I hate the code chip. If you ever lost the chip you have to use a whole new bottle of strips.

Well, you can order a new chip from Accu-chek/Roache with a phone call, they can send a new code chip. I leave mine in the meter all the time.
So far, I haven't lost a code chip (Crossing fingers, paws, feet, leggies.... )

Cool looking meter.
I recently got Accu Chek strips that had no code chip in the box. Called Accu Chek, they didn't have the chip # in stock & they sent me new strips by Fed Ex.

Accucheck is preatty good about sending you a new chip promptly so you would not have to discard the test strips.

I once found a old bottle of unused strips in my cabinet but the code chip was long gone. I called the accucheck customer service and they looked to see if they had an extra chip for that bottle in inventory. They didn't so they sent me a new bottle of strips for free! I was so impressed with the accucheck customer service.

I've got a AccuCheck Aviva Nano and it is a great little device, mine is jet black and is very smart. I'm really pleased with it and would recommend it highly.

Exactly. I would like to be able to GET one of these. Apparently they're in the OK only :-( Would *I* be able to get one, here in the USA?
As I was dx-ed in the UK, I know mmol/L x 18= mg/dL. The strips should be no different than the Aviva nano in UK.

Hi, Catherine. I live in the USA and am considering mail ordering a Nano from Britain. My question is this: does the Nano offer the user a choice of displaying mg/dL or mmol/L? Most meters are not configurable for measurement units, and I definitely need mg/dL. I tried to find the Nano user manual on line but couldn't. Any help you can offer would be appreciated!
