Thanks for giving such a great recap, Manny. Is there any way to find other people who use the same model meter? Just curious!

It’s not perfect (or ideal), but one way to do so is to enter the model/brand you want to find other users for in the search box INSIDE the Members section.

Thanks. Wow, I only found myself. I knew my meter wasn’t too common, but figured there’d be more than one user here with it. For the record, it’s a Caresens monitor.
