The One Touch Ultra Mini Blood Glucose Monitor is a very good monitor.  Nice compact size doesn't take up much room in a handbag.  You can discreetly test yourself without having to lay out  a lot of artillery.   It doesn't require much of a blood sample and comes with a test nozzle for use in obtaining forearm samples but it usually is less accurate than a fingertip.  You can obtain software for about $30 that allows you to upload your readings into the computer and you can generate reports that show your trends on a daily, weekly, monthly, etc. basis. 

You can also print these reports...
