We tried another brand when a second person was diagnosed in the house. Nope! Was not accurate. We switched back and ordered this again. The readings align with the bloodwork everytime. Read more

Accurate - I compared it to another reading and it matched exactly. Love having a Bluetooth connection to automatically record the readings. The app interfaces with apple health so the readings are also stored there. Love the ease of noting before meal, after meal, fasting etc. in the app. The case is tight, I’d prefer it slightly larger and will likely swap it for my old one. The instruction booklets are too large to include in case, would be nice if they would fit in the case. Read more

My mom uses this every morning and its actually pretty fancy. The readings are always accurate so far unlike her old monitor which showed her way out of range crazy readings which shocked her and jumpscared which might even just make her sugar go up more lol. Sometimes she had to test twice. This one's always good and the thing that's pretty good is that it has a quick light indicator of good through bad amounts of blood glucose. My mom can't read well and she can now tell by herself if her blood glucose is good or bad by the light that pops up after testing. The test strips are pretty expensive though. Each test strip costs a few cents more than the ones for her old monitor are and you know, cost amount stacks up. But I think if you use more than one test strip on a monitor for 1 reading, maybe this is the best option for you. Read more

After reading some of the bad reviews, was unsure about this purchase. However, in researching this meter, it did score high so I decided to give it a try. Before this purchase, I was using an old CVS model. It was right-on when comparing meter results against lab results. But because it was an older model, thought I should upgrade. I did get everything I was supposed to in the package. Some people mentioned they didn’t get this or that. Not sure why. Right away, I was able to figure out the meter almost without referring to the instructions. User friendly. I like the size of the meter—not too small. And the # results are very clear to see. I like the microlet lancets in that they deliver a minimal prick, and the lancet device is easy to use. I checked the blood droplet on the new meter against the old and the results were only a few points off. I did this for three days and got similar results for both meters. I did notice one day that if you didn’t push the stick into the meter all the way, of course, it wouldn’t read. The sticks aren’t firm so you have to be gentle but constant to make sure the stick reaches the end. It would be nice if they had a bit more meat on them. But they work. Thus 4 stars. I do like that it syncs to your phone. I’m not a technical wizard but I do like all the current technology. The syncing program isn’t particularly fancy but it keeps a record, and will give you an average. When it comes time for my next A1c, it will be interesting to see if the lab average matches the Contour average. The little black bag is useless to me. They are never big enough. UPDATE. Have had the glucose meter now for almost a month. I do like it. Not a problem with the sticks—like I said—gentle but constant. When I first got it, I played around with the app to understand all that it has to offer. It takes a few days to a week to clearly figure it out. Very nice. It records when you stick, the results and the average. Nice colorful images. A1c time will tell… Definitely would recommend. Changed from 4 stars to 5. Read more
