The only diabetes gadget I own as of right now is my one touch meter but I would LOVE to say in the near future that it is a Dexcom 7 CGM.

My most recent new find is ReliOn Glucose Keychain. It's a small plastic container, similar to a contact lens case, but can hold 4 glucose tabs. (Found it at Walmart)

But my favorite is my new Dexcom, and resulting improved A1c.

But with lower A1c / lower average BG, hence the need to always have glucose tabs nearby !
