I have type 2 diabetes and up until now I have only controlled my diabetes through diet and exercise. However, I decided that I wanted to monitor my blood glucose levels more accurately so I purchased this device because of its compact size. I read through the manual (which is very comprehensive so I thought it was going to be very complicated!) but once you have followed the instructions once it is easy peasy to use.
The lancets are easy to load into the multiclix machine and are virtually pain-free to obtain the blood sample required to get a reading. Because the lancets are in a drum you don't see the needles so this is a bonus if you are scared of needles! Each drum has six needles in it but as long as you don't twist the device to the next needle you can use the same needle more than once - just make sure you read the instructions because I broker my first device by trying to twist it when it was locked (it is recommended that you use a new needle for each test but since they are expensive most diabetics use the same needle for a week before changing to a new one).
Once you've got your blood sample you just need to insert a chip (that comes with each new pack of test strips)into the machine and you're ready to go - insert a test strip into the machine, allow your blood sample to absorb into the strip and there you have it - a glucose reading. You can then store the reading labelled as a general reading, before food or after food and the machine will then give you an average reading for various timescales. (I did read that there are different types of readings so do cross reference your readings with the info on the two main diabetes websites).
This pack comes with a good supply of test strips but only 12 lancets so you will need to stock up on these. Overall, I'm very happy I went for this machine, especially since some reviews of other machines indicate that they are fiddly, bulky or more painful than this machine. Does what you want it to and in a handbag friendly size!

Following a recent visit to my GP is was told I had a high blood sugar level (luckily not diabetic!). I decided then that along with a change of diet (less sugar etc) I would make sure that I monitored my blood sugar levels myself. I searched the web for a suitable device and opted for the Accu Check Aviva NANO. Being a first time user I followed the instructions and found the NANO extremely easy to use and indeed the lancet device that came with it was exactly as described - virtually painless. I could recommend the Aviva Nano to anyone. Cheap to b uy, easy to use and painless into the bargain.Accu Check Aviva Nano

Like everybody else have already said, this is a great little device. Two things I like most is the little revolver-type lancet pen with six lancets in it so you only need to change the head once a day or so. Even less often, if what the user Miss B. says is right and you don't need to change lancets every time.
The other thing I love about Accu-Check Aviva Nano is the design: it's sleek and classy, really looking more like a posh electronic toy than a medical appliance! One word of warning: being electronic, it stops functioning at low temperatures. The book says, it stops working and sends an error message under 8 degrees Celsius, but on a few occasions it malfunctioned on me at slightly higher temperatures, too. So be warned if you want to carry it around with you in cool weather: chances are, it'll be too cold to use it.
But that's a small inconvenience, so I give it five stars and wish its developers every success with their future models. Just think how some people can invent and produce such clever and complicated machines -- mind boggles!
