Oh how the times have changed.
The One Touch 2 Meter, awe I miss the simpleness of it, it took 45 seconds for the results to show up.

The Freestyle Lite (I use this more often than I use the Ping because I like the light feature that helps you see where you are putting the blood on the strip late at night.)

I still have the One Touch Profile (which took 45 seconds) meter with expired glucose strips under my bed. I tested the accuracy of the expired strips (expired 2001) against The One touch Ultra and they were within a few points of each other, funny.
My first blood glucose meter had to be carried in a huge briefcase, I remember my mom paying big bucks for it... it was not very travel friendly. My uncle would call me "Little man with a briefcase."
Before I actually had my own blood glucose meter, I would put my blood on a strip, wait for it to dry and pray it turned light blue (light blue was good dark blue/purple was bad)...does anyone else remember having to do this process? I believe this time frame fell between urine testing and glucose meter testing (early 80's).
