 Easy To Use, Fast, and Accurate - Recommended! November 12, 2008
I have used the Ascensia Contour Monitoring System for about one year now. This is by far the easiest and one of the fastest blood sugar monitors I have seen. Here are my observations:
* Requires very little blood
* Fast readings, 5 seconds
* BIG numbers on display
* Inexpensive test strips (when bought through Amazon), see Ascensia Contour Test Strips Box of 100
* Accurate (I have tested against my doctor's meter)
This unit does exactly what I need it to do and is fairly inexpensive (I even bought a second one to keep at work).
Highly recommended!
Great meter, lots of features, but very easy to use April 21, 2008

I've been diabetic for over 10 years and used a variety of glucometers. This has been the best and easiest to use right out of the box. It requires a pindrop sample and gives an accurate result in only 5 seconds.
The display is quite large for those with eyesight difficulties. It comes with a carrying case to hold the meter, a lancet, and a vial of test strips. You don't even have to take the meter out of the case to use it...just unzip the case and pop in a test strip!
It's easy to track pre-and post-meal readings using the up/down arrow and "M" button to mark each result. It can even be set to remind you to re-test post-meal in 2.5 hours!
The meter can be connected to a PC for downloading data (my doctor does this for me to analyze my readings).
It only comes with a few test strips (this is how all glucometers are packaged), so be sure to get extras. If your insurance doens't cover the strips, LOOK AROUND AT AMAZON for boxes of strips. They can be found for almost 50% of the cost at your local Wal-Mart.

The Ascensia Contour Monitoring System is everything I had hoped. It is compact and so easy to use. I appreciate the effort put into a design that requires so little blood sample and can be extract from a variety of places. The product was shipped quickly and received in great condition. I have only praise for both the product and the process.
 only 6 testing stick? ! January 19, 2007

i ordered this as a gift for my grandma, who is suffering from diabetes now. She hasn't started to use it so i am not so sure about how it functions. But when she opened the pack , she found out that there were only 6 pieces of testing paper or whatever, she was sort of disappointed. Because that means she can only do 6 tests before i get her more testing paper.
Well, anyway, i am looking for the testing paper which is selling separatedly now~~and hope there are some~~
