Hi Theresa
Currently with Roche for glucose and Abbott for ketones. Always been a bit reluctant to have a combined meter due to the reports of staff interpreting ketones as glucose and vice versa. Will be going to tender next year for glucose and will likely incorporate ketones at that point so I'll never say never!
Took a look at the Roche meter but didn't evaluate it as we were not ready for a tender and other ongoing procurement prevented it. I have a similar opinion to other responses posted.

Can I ask if anybody is using the ketone meter that Roche provide? If so, what do you think of it? If you don't use it but have looked at it I would appreciate any feedback.
Also if you have Roche glucose meters and don't use that device, what ketone meters do you use?
We currently use a combined meter but are about to go to Tender and aren't sure whether to stick to a dual meter or not. The reasoning behind your choice would be appreciated.
Many thanks.
