Oh how the times have changed

I was curious as to how different each BG meter has changed over the last 20 years since I was DX’d and this is what I have found. going from my first meter to the latest, I don’t remember all of them, but most are here.

The One Touch 2 Meter, awe I miss the simpleness of it, it took 45 seconds for the results to show up.

The Freestyle Lite (I use this more often than I use the Ping because I like the light feature that helps you see where you are putting the blood on the strip late at night.)
