TuDiabetes - A Community for People Touched by Diabetes

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.

Very cool, now if it has a cool case it would be even better! Just my two cents-from my style side :-)

I think a StickMe case would look good with it!!! I can see a black and gray case :)

Any link to see that Case?

With me, I want to park it, test strips and lancet thingie into my cargo pants jeans. I have to use a case now and hang it from a carabiner on a belt loop.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE night lit up display!!! Mommy!!

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.
