Just as good as the more expensive meters!

Pros

The least expensive meter over the long term. Start-up cost is about $18.00 for the meter and 20 strips. Lancets are $4 for 100.

Cons

No computer port.

save. Its easy to use for travel. Gives information we need each day.

Cons

If you use a computer program to chart your
daily numbers and averages its not for you-

Works great

Pros

Cheaper price of any, test strips are also very affordable

Cons

If your doctor requires you to have a computer reading meter, this will not work.

I am hesitant to give it a thumbs up. We are on our second meter the first sent back per Company due to unrealistic results. Here's the bombshell for me. The Control Solution is back ordered and has been since our purchase.

Pros

Inexpensive/fast and cheap strips

Cons

No way to do a Control test makes it a glorified paperweight. I asked the Company to elevate this issue, as to not cause a stir in the DC.

By far the most effecient for its price. The test strips are the cheapest that I have found. I have not had any problems with it, been using it since November 2008.

Pros

Budget friendly, not hard to use.

Cons

I have nothing negative to say about it

This is one of my backup meters & I llke it.

Pros

Seems to be reliable & has a fast result time. The strips are less expensive than most.

Cons

The strips are real tiny and sometimes my fingers can't maneuver them.

I have used the Relion meter for about two years. I am allowed a limited number of tests each day by my doctor. If I test another 4 times per day I have to buy my own strips. Strips for my Free Style Lite cost three times as much.

Pros

Very reliable.
Strips are only 42 cents each in my area.
each strip is individually wrapped. handling is much easier without spilling.
Results agree closely with my Free Style meter.

Cons

No link up with a computer.
