But even with the forthcoming Jazz, WaveSense isn't resting on its laurels. An extension of the KeyNote line is the KeyNote Pro for medical professionals (like nurses) who need a meter that will automatically eject the test strip. And also following the WaveSense KeyNote is the WaveSense Presto, which is also a low-cost device, but unlike the KeyNote requires no coding. I saw both of them here at the ADA and will write about them as soon as I get my hands on my personal meters.

These are all first-tier companies in terms of quality. But in terms of sales volume the first tier remains the big four: LifeScan, Roche, Abbott, and Bayer. At the ADA this week Bayer introduced a new version of its Contour meter. We can personalize it for either basic or advanced levels of testing. The new Contour can be personalized in another way too -- it will come in three different colors when it will become available late this summer.

We already had a lot of meter choices. And now we have real quality meters to use.
