Teniller replied to sarah's discussion 'Looking for Onetouch Ultralink'"I have an UltraLink meter I could send you. I have a stockpile of meters that I don't use, and I've been wondering where/how to donate them. Although tempting, I can't seem to just throw them away. If you're comfortable with a…"
Sweet Fur replied to sarah's discussion 'Looking for Onetouch Ultralink'"Hey Mommy, I'm in the same boat as you. I'm trading in my mm for a ping, which arrives tomorrow x
Good luck with your switch !"
Brian (bsc) replied to sarah's discussion 'Looking for Onetouch Ultralink'"We don't always get the real scoop on what is happening at these companies. I have come to believe that actually OneTouch is moving to the new family of meters based on the Verio. There is a new product VerioSync that interfaces via bluetooth…"

"The Canucks ( me :) ) have been using the Bayer Contour Link/MM pump for quite some time ...in other words I can't help you , however I do believe strongly in carrying more than one Glucometer around ( my second one is a Link as well )"
Judith replied to sarah's discussion 'Looking for Onetouch Ultralink'"I'm not a pumper, but I've stuck with the basic Ultra2 OneTouch meter for years. I don't imagine it's right for a pumper, but if you need strips, I've gotten ahead on my hoarding and would be happy to share. I can still get…"
Jackie replied to sarah's discussion 'Looking for Onetouch Ultralink'"Hi Sarah, I had an issue with my Ultralink going bad and was worried that I wouldn't be able to replace it(I have 2 other One Touch meters and a ton of test strips.) While Medtronic doesn't carry that meter anymore, Lifescan is still…"
Mommy of Three replied to sarah's discussion 'Looking for Onetouch Ultralink'"Due to Lifescan working with Animas, they stopped supplying Ultra Link to Medtronic. I don't plan to get rid of my Ultra Link meters (after being with Medtronic since 2004) but I'm switching to the Animas Ping insulin pump this Wednesday…"

Hi all, I'm wondering what's happened to the Onetouch link meter. I have MM pump and one link meter and I wanted to buy a second meter that links up. It seems I can't find it anywhere. Not offered in MM's store, couldn't find at Walgreens/Cvs/Walmart. What's up? Did they discontinue this meter? I received a free Contour link meter recently and love it, but the strips cost twice the price of the onetouch blue strips. I have amassed a stock pile of onetouch strips over the years and I'm very…See More

Hi all, I'm scheduled to have in office female surgery in a few weeks. I am unable to take pain meds due to severe reactions. My surgeon says the procedures will likely be "very uncomfortable" and has prescribed xanax and motrin 800 for the morning of. Just wondering if anyone has had experience with pain and blood sugar fluctations? In my experience adrenalin causes my BS to skyrocket followed by a huge drop. Should I set a temp basal rate? Go in with a slighty elevated BS(140 or so)? Should I…See More

- Hi Sarah,
I noticed that you live near me. I live in a southern suburb of Dayton, Kettering. I am always happy to meet another diabetic, especially one that has been at it for a while and lives in the Great Buckeye State.
