[Diabetes-talk] Excellent Deal on Solus V2 Meter and Strips

[Gail the U. S. Male]

hello, yes the my meter link is completely accessible. the only part that 
isn't is setting up the uploader. then, when you connect the meter, it will 
upload to the  my meter link page, where your readings are stored in an 
excel file.
