Your DME *might* print the reports for you. Some will charge you for that report. Some machines will provide information in the LCD display. That can often be enough.

Always remember, who will gain the most from you sleeping well. Your provider won't. They often just don't care. This is no different than tracking your blood glucose if you have Type 2 Diabetes. You could use a fancy computer program. But just having the machine that CAN keep track is often enough.

Hope that helps.

I'm big into tracking my own heath. I have a file I take with me to have anything I need as I tell all doctors to send reports to my PCP, but they don't always. I have other health problems that I have to watch, so you are giving me good advice. I hope the screen will tell me what I need to keep track of in between readings. I'm hoping this machine provides that information.

Thanks,

Pat

It's the model just before that and I'm not ready yet to change, but it will happen this year most likely.

Thanks to all of you and my doctor, Lincare's RT delivered the Elite S9 this morning! I sure would have been in a mess without your kind advice, so I'm truly grateful. How did we get along without the internet?

Now, to learn how to use it for reporting. My iMac is old and so I don't want to try to install Windows on it. The drive's pretty full as it is and I'll replace it soon enough! I'll want to read it daily and let Lincare decode it for me. This is the FIRST one they've ordered and had delivered! The RT went to an inservice on it just a few weeks ago.

Gotta go set up my profile to reflect the change!

Whee!
