I never use it. The only thing I use is recalling BG readings from memory. Then I put the readings into a spreadsheet that calculates averages,standard deviation, and other statistics. I don't even use a data cable for the meter. Like you, Amy, I'm interested in a monitor that measures my BG ***automatically*** every few minutes.

I'm not surprised Abbott is in 2nd place, since they also work with pump companies (Omnipod and Cozmo). Why can't glucose meters guide you through this also?
