May 20, 2008 6:12 AM This was my first meter. I found the amount of blood I could get from a prick varied, and the meter would sometimes give different readings depending on how much blood got on the "window" area of the strip. I tried the "alternate site testing" option, but the lancing device could never draw up enough blood for the monitor. After a bit under a year, it started having trouble accepting the strips completely. Pros:It has very inexpensive supplies for a name-brand meter, and a quick response. It also supports alternate site testing (forearm). Cons:Readings varied depending on how full one could get the strip. Reading method (photoluminescence?) is supposed to be the least accurate of the three main methods used. After a bit under a year, the device started having trouble accepting the strips completely. Also, its alternate-site testing option never worked correctly for me. |
