The AccuChek Aviva is an excellent meter that is small, quick, and easy to use, but it is technologically behind the times (limited connectivity and data management options).

It now comes with a prescription card that you can get your strips for $15 now. I am going to change to this one just for that. I'm glad to hear it is a good meter as well. I also like that it is 100% made in the USA.

If you don't have insurance you can buy 100 of these strips at
TotalDiabetes Supply.com for $ 53.99. Shipping is free if your order is over $ 99.00. Hope this helps someone

I just started using this meter. I used One Touch Ultra Smart before and it seemed to waste a lot of strips due to error messages. I really like the lancing device, it makes it a lot easier to change lancets. With other meters I used to change lancets every few days.

I have had mine for over 5 years and haven't had many problems.

Cons

If the meter gets too cold it will not work. When the test strips expire you can't use them at all.

forgot to add they now have a program to reduce cost of test strips to $15 for those with insurance coverage.

love this meter and the multi-click lancet device that used to come with it. (the lancet device alone is worth the purchase price)

Pros

small size
small sample size
fast results

Cons

none so far…except that it is "tier 3" or non-preferred by my insurance.

I just received one of these in the mail.
Needs only a small amount of blood, and
quick results.

Pros

Easy to use, quick result. Replaces their
Advantage meter which is being retired.

Cons

none

It was my first meter. I like the fact that I can test and be done in less than a minute.

Pros

It is easy to use,compact, and discreet. 6 test sites and 5 seconds for results w/micro liters. Computer capabilities for downloading records and updating meter.

Used at least over the last 6 months. Switched from Breeze2.

Pros

Smaller blood sample required. Nicer to hold in hand.

Cons

Health insurance will no longer cover strips. Cost of strips is expensive but I saw very little cost difference when compared to other big name brands.

Pros

Easy to use easy to load, and easy to read meter.

Cons

Just wish the strips didn't cost so much, but we got to have them to go along with the meter. Worth the money.

Since this is the first meter, it's hard to say how it compaires to other types. I like it, very easy to use.
