I absolutely love this meter! I have tried so many in the past but the ability for this meter to use ketone strips and BM strips as well as them individually sealed is a big plus for me. Also the fact that the meter reads to a nice low range is great as I have a significant HYPO problem and pairing the FreeStyle Optimum Neo with my Dexcom helps gain extra control.

I love that this meter is so compact and easy to use. However I tend to get error messages quite regularly which can be annoying.

Although it is more stylish than my Optium meter, this new meter lets me down E-7,many times. We are thinking of getting the new sensor type unit, if it not too expensive to run ??

Overall I feel that the FreeStyle Optium Neo is a good meter. I really like how you can record how many units of insulin you have injected for meals and at night time. I have an insulin pen where I can inject in half units so I would find it really useful if I could record half units too. Sometimes I inject at other times of the day (ie when having a snack) so it would be helpful if I could record those extra injections too. But other than that I am happy with it :)

I find the strips don't always connect with the meter without you giving it your full attention, which when hypo always doesn't work. Then get error message and have to start again! What I really dislike is the fact you need to be in good light to see the meter, if trying to do it a night, you have to have a light on, to read the screen, which with my old meter I never did. It is light to carry though.
