AgaMatrix WaveSense KeyNote glucose meter

[BernFarr]

I didn't see a thread for this new meter.

I posted a video on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqNYEyWHDHI) showing it in use. And my blog post (http://www.bernardfarrell.com/blog/2007/05/using-keynote-blood-glucose-meter.htm) also gives a pointer to a review that Amy Tenderich wrote of the meter.

Nice design. 33 gauge lancets, which are great. Accompanying software is very good. Test strips are about $18.80 for 50, about $3+ less than others.

I have yet to write a full review, but I'd give it about a 9+ out of 10.

I'll have a review of the AgaMatrix Keynote online soon. The meter is excellent, and their software is superb.

thanks for bumping this! I didn't realize it was THAT small.

I have never heard of this one. Is it available to the general public? Anyone have anymore info on it than this? I would love to try it out but only if insurance and A+ will work with them.

The Agamatrix meter is available, but I don't know where.

It is excellent.

Hmmm, I googled it and the only reference I can find is here?

These meters appear to be marketed substantially through other labels such as Liberty Medical which apparently gives these away as part of their diabetes supply promotions.

I called the 800 number on the site and asked for one and they sent me one.

Does anyone know more about the software? Jeff would you like to elaborate?

Thanks!!

I don't know.
I haven't really read anything that convinces me that this meter is all that accurate. I have read a few comments from people saying they got inconsistant results and went back to their old meter. There is one such comment on the forum at this link.

The test strips are probably cheap for a reason. It doesn't matter how good your meter is unless the test strips are just as good.

I have read several blogs and forums where a person called Allison writes in and tells how she has been using the WaveSense KeyNote for several months and how happy she is with the results. HOWEVER, ALLISON WORKS FOR AGAMATRIX.

I called to see if they would send me a free meter and they directed me to sites online to buy one. i think i will just stay with what i got ;)
