I always say HI back and then threaten it with a nice fat syringe of novolog before I flip it off.
I love my meter. It’s my master. It says “eat”, I eat, It says “take drugs biotch”, I go shoot up, Such a nice simple relationship.
Everyone should have such fine toys.

I thought I’d found my automated soulmate when our new urinalysis analyzer kept giving me an “all AMOR” message. I winked at it, and was puzzled by it’s lack of response until I realized “AMOR” meant “amorphous”.

The first time I saw it I was holding the metre the wrong way so I saw “IH”… it took a few minutes.

I vote that WhiteCoat wins best comment of the year.

Is that like when the scales in the NICU say, “REPLACE BABY?” I always wanted to answer back, “But we like THIS baby, we don’t want a replacement.”

The only time my meter ever said HI, I said “Thank you.”

I wasn’t testing my blood, but rather the supposedly diet soda I had just purchased which tasted much better than it had any right (pre-Splenda).

Tor Arne Says:

“Rogue: I said ‘will’, not ‘may’. It’s not Pascal’s Wager if you’re completely convinced the higher power you’re referring to is real. ”

You are correct. I was reading a bit into your comment. I’m just glad your humor chip is working properly.

Ever notice in Sci-fi films that most of the medical personnel are robots? Star Trek started with a real person, and ended up with a freakin’ hologram. Even Luke and Lea in Star Wars were delivered by robots, and Luke had his hand replaced by robots.
So I’d be mighty cordial to that glucometer. To do less does not compute… I mean it would be illogical… oh crap!
