I can't get rid of the repeat replies.. When I click on the x it just goes back to the top of the page.. Not sure if it is because I'm replying with my blackberry or it is something else..

Marcello: When you are logged in, and open this thread; On YOUR replies only, not on anyone else's replies, the first line next to your face has a orange bicycle or spectical logo, the the word Reply by Marcelo (with the name only also in orange) the hours ago(or minutes ago) look at the far right side of this line, you will see a very small red x That is the x she is referring to click on it to remove the duplicate entry. all of this is above your comment. So easy to point to, so hard to verbally describe. I can see the light bulb going off in your head from where I sit

Thanks for the detailed explanation on how to get rid of replies. What you have described is exactly what I have done in my blackberry and it again doesn't delete the reply and it just move the browser screen to the top. I was able to log in from a PC yesterday and it did work, meaning I was able to delete the duplicate replies and other messages that do not pertain to this topic of discussion but they didn't save. I'm sure I must be doing something wrong here as this is the first time I'm using this site.

This site is using dojo - a javascript library. Most likely the BlackBerry can not successfully execute the delete script.

I have gotten a Freestyle Navigator from Israel. This is the 1.5 version. It IS compatible with US Sensors. The thing to watch out for is that some of the foreign units use mg/dl (like the US) and some use mmol/l The units are pre-programmed at the factory and this setting cannot be adjusted by the user.

If you buy overseas, you need to be supported overseas. This can be a problem. I just had to send my Transmitter back to Israel and the replacement transmitter needs to be sent to an Israeli address.

To get my Freestyle 1.5 system cost me a bit more than the $2,000 refund. There is the basic cost, in Israel they charged tax, and charged me for the cost of a bank transfer. Then in the US, my local bank charged me for the bank transfer, and then finally, there is the shipping from Israel here. I did not choose wisely. If I had chosen better, I would have come in under the $2,000.

But as I view it, I got a "free" unit and an additional 2 years of use due to a new warranty. I don't know what's "wrong" with Abbott (or is it wrong with the FDA?) but the Navigator is really great and the few of us still using them here in the US are big fans. 5 calibrations in 5 days, and really accurate. My fingertips thank me. Now if Abbott could just get their darned software compatible with Windows 7 ( or the Mac!)



The ironic situation is that my Israeli Freestyle was manufactured in California.

how did you manage to get one from israel? do you know someone there? will a doctor there accept a US prescription? did you have to go in person?

You need to contact the Israeli distributor. You will need a letter of medical necessity, and someone in Israel to ship it to.

Contact me off list for more info. I think you can send me emails(?)

Why do you believe the warranty is 2 years? I thought it is only one year out of Israel??
