I like the Contour link meter as it automatically sends blood sugar results to the pump (wifi) and it does not need calibrating. It uses a minute blood sample and result appears in 5 seconds.

Hi,

Wow, you are very well organized, but I am actually wondering what is Insulin passport?

An Insulin passport is similar to a debit card! I have 2- 1 for Novorapid. 1 for Levemir. It states your type + dosage in short really!
