Hi everyone
As promised a couple of weeks ago, Roche have given me a brand spanking new Accu-chek Performa Nano tester (RRP $89.95) to give away to one lucky reader.
The website (www.accu-chek.co.nz/nano) tells you all the detail you need to know and all I’ll add (having checked one out at conference in August) is that it’s one hot little piece of kit which will most likely be mistaken for a top of the range MP3 player or mobile phone. They also take the existing Accu-chek Performa test strips so you can get up and running straight away if you have a Performa already (and of course this also means the strips are government funded).
What you have to do to enter the competition:
Go to the website for the new Nano – (www.accu-chek.co.nz/nano), check out the features and email me with the subject line “Accu-chek Performa Nano giveaway”, telling me which feature you think is best, and why. Be sure to have your email to me by 5pm on Tuesday 13th October 2009. For all the competition terms and conditions click here.
GOOD LUCK!

I have a Accu Chek Nano and its great. I can’t believe how expensive they are in NZ. I bought mine on holiday in the UK for 15 pounds – it wasn’t even a pound more than the regular Accu Chek meter. When I got here I found the Accu Chek meters are different but rang and they kindly said they would trade in my meter for the NZ Accu Chek Nano.
I had lost my old Optium (not the Xceed, my ones about 6 years old) on the plane on the way to the UK. When I got there I bought the Accu Chek Nano is heaps nicer.
Can anyone compare the Accu Chek Nano to the Freestyle Lite?
Is the Freestyle Lite a lot bigger?
It sounds great that the Freestyle lite lights up the test strip as well as the back light for testing at night. It also sounds great that it uses half the sample size!
My very old Optium used heaps more blood than my new Accu Chek Nano and the Freestyle lite uses half the sample size the Accu chek Nano uses!
I rang to see if I could swap my old spare Optium meter for a Freestyle Lite so I could try it but not luck, I would like to know more before spending money on it as I have only read about it – not even seen one apart from pictures.
