"Hi all, I decided to try the One Touch Ultra 2 meter that I received for free. I keep giving it a chance. The Error 5 happens almost every time I use this meter. I was thinking this is why they were giving the meters away for free. It usually takes…"

Colorado replied to Colorado's discussion 'One Touch Ultra Error 5' in the group OneTouch Users"Dear Sarah, glad I am not the only one. I would go back to the other meter, but my insurance only pays for one touch. I too have terrible calouses! My poor finger tips have become my biggest bitch about being a diabetic. As far as your pump…"
Scott E replied to Colorado's discussion 'One Touch Ultra Error 5' in the group OneTouch Users"Yes, absolutely. I get my share of Error 5's. If you don't like it, the BD is still available -- it's under the brand Novamax (and Novamax Link for the one that talks to the pump) now. Go to http://www.novacares.com
Personally, I was…"
Sarah Keech replied to Colorado's discussion 'One Touch Ultra Error 5' in the group OneTouch Users"Yes. "Error 5" is very irritating. I went to a focus group on meters that I later discovered was for One Touch meters after the new products came out. People with cholestoral problems most likely caused by treating their bodies like…"

One Touch Ultra Error 5
I am fed up with wasted strips for error 5 errors. I have been using One Touch meters for most of the 28 years I have had diabetes. I had stopped for a few years when I switched to BD because it uplinked with my pump. I switched back to the Ultra when they teamed with Minimed. The damn things seem so fussy. If you accidently touch your finger, or have too little or too much blood. Anyone else have these problems?See More
Colorado replied to JRod's discussion 'Tegaderm or IV3000? I use with medtronic minilink' in the group Continuous Glucose Monitor Users"I think you can get the Tagaderm in a roll that you can cut, shop around online.
I have some unused Tagaderms, I just changed to the larger IV3000 because I had to double or triple up on the smaller ones.
email me a dmalec@yahoo.com"

- Hello Colorado, thanks for the friendship. Just check the carb counting group from time to time. The mail notifications are only useful for less actice groups I think.

Erika said… - Hi, I have been using my MM 712 since Thursday night. Feeling a lot better after being on shots for a few days (couldn't stand the itching from the Omnipod). I am in love again with my pump. I got a skin for it and a "cliphanger" so I can attach it to anything. The Omnipod is probably the worst thing I ever did for my diabetes.
