Quote from poppyfire : You don't have to tell me, my friend. I know what your mother loves. Also, the good thing about these testing strips is that they aren't hard-coded with a use by date, so you don't have to use them within a month or two. Some of the testing strips still do this. I think Bayer gives you a few years to use them. Better to have more time than less. That's what your mother loves, I suspect.

lol

thanks, got one for my dad.

Got one for mum. Thanks to those who didn't get one because you don't need it.

Quote from kalrith : I read "meter" and "powerful" and thought it was some sort of electric power meter

Guilty as well.

I am a really low grade diabetic. I normally can treat it with what I eat and insulin 2 or 3 times a month. Would this be better than the pos I got 5 or so years ago? The strips are $20 a box and have a time limit on them...

2 quick points:
Blood Glucose Meters in general are ALWAYS No Charge from your family physician's office. They have reps that bring them Free Samples all the time.

The Contour Next EZ meter is the most accurate meter on the market right now, there are clinical studies that show this to be true, not just hearsay from someone. There is not an easier meter to use either, and the strip prices are lower than One Touch Ultra, Accucheck, or Freestyle meters at retail.

thnxs, my doctor told me that my suggar levels where high and he recomended to do a blood test every 2 weeks with a diet. With this i dont have to go and get my blood drawn. Needles makes me shiver :S

thanks OP, got one for my boyfriend who is a type 1 insulin dependent diabetic, whom also happens to be very forgetful. this extra meter will come in really handy

Thanks mate, got one for my family

You do know that this meter will require you to prick yourself with a needle to draw blood right?

No HDMI? No thanks, I'll pass.
jk, I ordered one for my dad who is having diabetes for 2 years. This is going to be his first meter.

I've signed my father for these promotions through Bayer before and never received anything. Has anybody actually received their meter?

Yes, I don't own this meter but I own another Bayer meter that uses the same strips. I've also researched this meter and while it is basic, it is consistent. What I like about the strips besides the length of time you can keep them (other meters require you to put in a coded strip that ties it to the strips in that package, requiring you to use them immediately) and they require much less blood.

If you have an older meter, when you do your finger prick and squeeze, you'll find these strips require about 25% the blood that the older ones do. So a light squeeze on your finger, and you're good. No more gushing finger pricks you have to hold a cotton ball on for five minutes because you didn't want to ruin an expensive testing strip.
