My glucometer data cable finally came!

Before Christmas I ordered a data cable for my glucometer so I can upload my blood sugar readings onto my computer.  I do so much better at record keeping when I can upload data to my laptop. 

It finally came today (after the UPS driver couldn't find my house and I found a note card in my mailbox telling me to come pick it up from their warehouse nearby)!!   

Here's what the cable looks like:

(For anyone who uses a Relion Prime (or other Arkray glucometer), the cable and online data software cost $29.95 plus $5 shipping & handling.) 

And these are the graphs and charts that I saw when I checked out my readings on the software program:

I definitely have some choking up to do on the reins.  ;)

Hi there, I'm curious as to where we may find this USB Data Cable and Software for the Relion Prime Meter to be able to plug into a PC?
I have searched everywhere and all I find is USB Data Cables for other meters or the ISO one, which also having a laptop, I find it much easier to keep track on things via the laptop vs. a phone and I don't like the idea of having all my data on a server. So what you have here would be the best option.
Anyway, I look forward to your response.

Hi Anonymous,
I apologize for my late response. I purchased my data cable from the Relion company directly (that's the only place to get it). The cost covers the cable and access to the website where you upload your blood sugar numbers. It was $29.95 plus $5 s&h. You can call them to order it at 855.776.0662. Let them know you're interested in purchasing the diabetes management software. :)

I have this cable for sale on eBay. I should have more than one, but I'm not for sure

Thanks for the picture. I just got off the phone with those people who have the GOLDEN data Cords. WOW! why are they not included in the box? there is no way they cost that much, i got this monitor ( it's my 3rd one actually) because it's cheap, I can barely even afford my meds and they want to stick it to me again for 35 more dollars.

Incredible! Chinese cables 3000 % mark up suckers! come get them. what a scam. i thought it would be better to get one with a upload so I could print out Or at least send screen shots to the clinic that helps me out with my meds since my hand writing is terrible. I cannot believe people pay that much for that cable. the reason the do it is because people will pay it. 398 today, I missed my meds at 4 am. OUCH I need to go walk off my anger I guess.
