5.0 out of 5 stars HIGH QUALITY UNIT Made in Japan
I am not a diabetic, but need to monitor blood sugar for a while. It was pure luck I found this QUALITY UNIT with all the junk out there being sold. This is MADE IN JAPAN--Japan made products are always of the highest quality. (I now have a new understanding and empathy for the discomfort diabetics go thru pricking their fingers all day for testing.)-The batteries were included.-The quick start guide was easy; simply take your time to read through it to set date/time, etc.-Once you slip the test strip in the unit, the unit automatically turns on.-The unit gives you the opportunity to identify if you are fasting, before meal, or after meal, or none, for each test.-As soon as you put the blood on the strip, then a little clock timer comes on the screen for a few seconds, then the reading shows up.-I can't really feel the prick with that little poker/lancet device. The person who invented that device should be given an award. It would be impossible to keep self-pricking fingers.-The unit will ask for more blood if needed--you have 30 seconds to add more--while the strip is in the unit-THE KEY WITH THE TEST STRIP IS: There is a tiny rectangular shaped gray area on the bottom of the test strip, and if you place the end of the test strip to touch your drop of blood, that little gray rectangle will pull in your blood like a magnet. So once your little drop of blood is on your skin, just move the end of the test strip into the drop, and you'll see that little gray section just pull in the blood like a magnet.-The larger User Guide is high quality, impressively structured and well written, and all of it is in English. One can perceive this is a professional unit, professionally designed, and this manufacturer just didn't mess around or compromise on quality. I give this unit 10 Stars!
5.0 out of 5 stars Oustanding & Accurate!
First of all, the meter is extremely easy to set up! It comes with everything you need to get started and the price is incredible for any of the 3 options. I chose the cheaper one in case I had to return it. My Precision Neo went bad and I needed a replacement so I purchased this one. I never had a problem with the accuracy with the Precision Neo.My daughter gave me a True Metrix Air. I used it or 3 days but I knew from my past readings it was reading higher than my glucose was. My body is very sensitive when my blood sugar goes below the best level. I am overcoming hypoglycemia. The True Metrix was reading 10-12 higher, though it may be in an acceptable range, it is not the best accuracy for me.I used this right away and did 2 tests which were within 1 point and I knew the reading was correct based on the symptoms I began to have. This meter also only requires a small amount of blood! I have great confidence that my readings will be accurate with the new Contour Next monitor. The strips are a little more but the accuracy of the reading is worth it!Buy with confidence. Don't waste your money on cheaper models or models with less expensive strips because it will cost you in the long run!
5.0 out of 5 stars Accurate and Easy To Use!
This is an incredibly user-friendly glucose monitor. It is also very accurate; similar readings to what I get at the lab. Insert then test strip into the monitor to turn it on, and put the test strip against the drop of blood on your finger to take the sample; the blood gets sucked up into the test strip's window automatically. I also love that this glucose monitor comes with a charger so you don't need to buy separate batteries for it. The test strips for this glucose monitor are affordable; so are the lancets.Some Tips:- If you have thick skin, use the highest level prick (level 5) on the lancing device pen.- As a first time glucose monitor user, I learned that you will have a certain finger that will produce enough blood sample for testing upon pricking it - you just have to do trial and error to figure out which finger that is. Producing enough blood sample for testing is a challenge for anyone with thick skin on their fingers.
4.0 out of 5 stars Good, With a few Caveats
I like this meter overall. The display is one of the better that I've used, the accuracy is good and the strips only require a pretty small sample for testing. The price for the strips online are a decent value, and are available locally as well (but some of the prices locally are absolutely way over-priced, like 300% markup, no joke).I don't like that the strips are more difficult to insert into the meter than others I've tried, and they are harder to remove as well. The lancing device is okay too, but it has no eject to remove the lancets after use which would be a very easy feature to adopt. Same with the strips in the meter, no eject feature after use.I'd recommend it overall over most of the other meters here, but those missing features would make it even better.
5.0 out of 5 stars Recommend For My Patients
As a nurse practitioner, I've recommended this glucometer to numerous patients due to its exceptional accuracy and affordability. Clinically reviewed and validated, this device consistently delivers results that are on par with much more expensive models. (MARD of <6% whereas some models will have a MARD close to 20%)The affordability aspect is a significant benefit for my patients, ensuring that regular blood sugar monitoring isn't a financial burden. Its compact size also makes it convenient for carrying around. I've received positive feedback from patients who appreciate its reliability and ease of use. For anyone seeking a trustworthy and budget-friendly glucometer, this is an excellent choice.
5.0 out of 5 stars Keeping track of sugar levels
Though I don't have diabetes, I still like to keep track of my sugar levels. This is a good and affordable kit to have on hand and works well.
