If any three words ever echoed down through the years with more meaning, I don’t have any idea what they are. I went to Walmart the other day and bought a Relion platinum glucose meter. It advertised that it had a usb and Blue Tooth capability.

Being a little busy, I didn’t deal with the blue tooth ability right away. Just using the thing isn’t all that bad, other than setting the clock and such. The lancers and the strips are simple, the work the war they are supposed to. Taking the reading is a piece of cake. Setting the clock, not so much. It still has the settings it came with.

I don’t know why it is, but I sort of hoped I could do the setup from my computer or phone. Nope. It looks as if I will have to use the two buttons. (Maybe they could have made the thing with four.) At any rate, I spent almost an hour figuring out how to set up the blue tooth, and then it just sat there looking back at me. It did not do a thing. At any rate, if you want a glucometer that does everything but setup and beg, this might be your meter. However, it’s not for me. I’ll just make sure I keep track on paper. Even reading it from memory is not so easy. I usually do it by accident and then I can’t figure out how I did it.
