I started using the Accucheck Compact, which seemed huge after the One Touch mini. I like the drums instead of sticking strips in. It sounds like some kind of robot--lady gave me the strangest look after I used one in the handicapped stall. RAHHHHHHH RAHHHHHHHH

New to using Accu-Check Compact Plus. Does anyone use the Accu-Check 360 software to track their results? Do you need the USB cable? My laptop has an IR port so can I configure that to work with the software? Any recommendations on free software that uses the laptop IR port?

Thanks for the link, Shannon. I couldn't agree with you more. Incidentally, my profile pic here was taken with my personal, rogue, black, dual core MacBook.
Have a great weekend.

Hi Michael,

Are you talking about Roche's Patient Assistance Program. If not, you should definitely look into it.

Thank you, too, for the comments. They will be passed along as well.

Have a good evening,

Rob

Hello All,
I LOVE my Compact Plus!! I agree with the noise it makes, but I can handle that for the convenience of the all-in-one design!! I use a FreeStyle Freedom Lite, but do not like messing with the strips and lancing device!
And I do not mind paying for my strips(I have no Insurance)!! Trying to get on the Patient Assistance Program, but it is taking some time to do that.
All in all the Compact Plus is Awesome!! But it could use a make-over. Maybe a bit more streamlined!!

Thanks, Rob. So far, my only complaint is that the Compact Plus is LOUD! I do lots of middle-of-the-night testing (check out my blog for more on that craziness), and this meter seems to echo throughout my bedroom. But, it's a small price to pay for the convenience of not fumbling around with strips. That's my #1 feature, followed by the attached lancet device (I'm always dropping them, so this is a great improvement), and the lighted display. It's a very nice design, and since I use a pump and CGM, its lack of a lot of bells and whistles actually works really well for me.
It is annoying that the strips fall into my insurance's (Aetna) highest copay level, but I'm willing to pay an extra $15 per month for something I like better.

Shannon,

The others here could probably provide much better input about tips and tricks, but please feel free to shoot me a message letting me know of your experience and learning curve. If there's any way we can make it easier, or you have any suggestions, we'd love to hear them.

Thanks so much,

Rob

dargirl,

Thanks for the feedback. I am passing your comments along to the appropriate people here at Roche. We really do appreciate your input and support. Is it okay for me to contact you here at TuDiabetes if I get asked a specific question about your comments?

Have a good day,

Rob
