 MR> Does anyone have a recommendation on a meter? Mine is about shot, no
 MR> back light etc. I have had this one quite a few years and have to
 MR> check my blood sugars 4 times a day. Are there any that are more
 MR> durable, or easy to use. I have used this accucheck now for about 6
 MR> years. Prices used to be higher too I think, but not looking for an
 MR> expensive top of the line type either. Any ideas would be appreciated.

MaryJane is using one of the One Touch Ultra ones.  It's been working
well for her, a few years now.  She's only testing once a day usually,
though.  I get to test her a few times a week, when I'm over there to
get her out for some appointment, so I got some familiarity with it. 
I've seen ads for the ones that the strip is included in the meter,
those look nice, too... but I have no experience with them.  

You'll probably get better input from others... ;)
