Bayer offers two types of cables for use with our diabetes management software, a serial port cable and a USB port cable. You need to select one of these cables for use with the software; other cables are not compatible.
Both cables allow users to download data from their Bayer meter to their computer. Each cable works with a different connector; check your computer to see which best fits your needs. Serial ports are seen more frequently on older computers; most new computers have USB ports.
