It wasn&#8217;t that great a deal, but I&#8217;ve been wanting to try the UltraMini so I went for it.<\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t realize it must be coded whenever starting a new vial. So that&#8217;s a major pain.<\/p>\n<p>Next, it took 8 strips and punctures before I got the meter to draw in enough blood to test with. It needs an absurdly large amount of blood!<\/p>\n<p>The result was 197 mg\/dl. I&#8217;ve never seen numbers that high except for in hospital right after dx. So I retested with my FreeStyle Lite and it told me 148; I&#8217;ve been running high all week and so I&#8217;ve been tweaking my basal and tinkering with my I:C. Anyway, that&#8217;s a huge difference! And so now I have no idea which is the right number. And I can&#8217;t even test the OneTouch because I didn&#8217;t realize they don&#8217;t include control solution. That&#8217;s a separate purchase! Now I need to visit the endo and see if my FreeStyle Lite is as accurate as I thought it was.<\/p>\n<p>So um, that was a nice waste of a hundred bucks or so. And a confidence destroyer too because I trusted my FreeStyle Lite was giving me accurate numbers. It might be, but the point is I&#8217;m no longer certain.<\/p>\n<p>Can I use my FreeStyle Lite control solution in other meters like the OneTouch, or is it proprietary?<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So I was at CVS today and my regular pharmacist told me I can get a OneTouch UltraMini for free if I buy 100 test strips for an insanely high price of $112.
