I just recieved the Wavesense Keynote blood glucose machine, it is fantastic and the strips cost 18.00 for a box of 50 strips. The company is great. I was looking for a new meter, I calleed my diabetes supply DME and asked if they had the machine and strips they said that they had the strips not the machine. I told this to Wavesense. they sent me out a new machineand I am loving it .

Ok, less expensive meter=good. But the real issue is the cost of the test strips, which I assume are just as spendy as ever since they are not mentioned.

Why doesn’t WaveSense marry their product to the Pelikan lancing device? Then we’d have the best of both worlds: better accuracy and less pain and finger damage.

Just took a look at the Wavesense site: the “improved safety feature” is a “test strip ejector” which works similarly to used-lancet ejectors.

An interesting item on both the Pro and the Presto is that they are able to do graphical analysis on-meter.

I had been thinking about trying out the Wavesense… now I think I’d rather try the Wavesense Pro…

Wow, glad to know people are having so much fun with all these cartoons and gadgets…not one word about a cure in there.

Sorry, had a bad night & feel a little grumpy today…
