Fortunately, I have not had to find out what life as a diabetic is like, but, my mother-in-law has lived with diabetes since 1986. She has dealt with a lot of different methods of treating the diabetes and has even had an insulin pump.

Just listening to her talk about all of it confuses me. There is so much involved in making sure you are doing and eating the right things. Monitoring your blood sugar has to be done often and with accuracy. Any tool that can help lessen this burden is very much appreciated. When the Family Review Network offered her the opportunity to try out the WaveSense Jazz we were all excited to see the options!

Here are the things that my mother-in-law loved about the WaveSense Jazz:
*Doesn't have to be coded (very convenient when you forget to "code" other meters)
*Very small (handy)
*Good sized numbers (easy to read)
*Comes with a nice case that has a place to put your strips

Her favorite part of the WaveSense Jazz is the No-Code feature. She told me that with her other meters she would sometimes forget to code them and things would be off. She also mentioned that some of her other monitors in the past did not come with a place to store the strips. The WaveSense Jazz comes with a nice case that even allows space for the strips.

Here are some of the features of the WaveSense Jazz:

1. Automatic mealtime tagging: Smart before and after meal tagging (breakfast, lunch, dinner, and nighttime) allows the patient to change the tag based on their personal schedule to provide more useful information when analyzing glucose readings.

2.Positive feedback feature: Alerts the user if their blood glucose result is within their pre- and post- meal target range to encourage tighter control. The ranges can be easily changed by the user or his/her health care professional.

3.Compliance tracker feature: Displays the average number of tests/day

4.Extensive memory: 1,865 memories for an average of 5 times/day for one year

So, if you are looking for a meter that allows you a little more freedom and less hassle, the WaveSense Jazz seems to be a good fit!
