I'm a Diabetic, so I Have to carry this around with me. I would actually prefer to carry my one touch ultra smart Ultra mini, but this is what the Dr prescribed, sent home and who's computers magically link up to. Its kinda spiffy! But I make due. It has its own internal log that shows all my past readings. I took mine out of its ugly black nylon case (they all have this eyesore of a case!) and put it in a cute little pink cosmetic case I found at big lots. -rolls eyes- Me and big lots! But for fifty cents it's a perfect fit, its washable, and it doesn't make my monitor appear all dreary and medical like.
