Great little meter. I especially like not having to handle strips. It comes with a wheel you just slip it in and your good to go for 10 tests. They end up costing about the same as the other name brands do. I used the Breeze for a number of years with same results. Also can test other places than your fingers.

This meter seems pretty accurate - but with a $30 co-pay per 50 strips (5 wheels), it's pricy (meter was free / strips are expensive). When malfunctions happen (either user error or the machine does not shoot out the strip correctly) it's really hurts the budget. I found a cheapie meter with cheapie strips that so far, with each test, matched the Breeze2 glucose results. I pay out of pocket, skip the insurance, and save money with the cheapie one…

Have you done the tests on the test strips… I used the breeze and then breeze 2 for over 4 years and found it to be reliable.. Maybe you should request a new meter..

I now have this meter because my insurance says this i what its paying for. Its nice not having to code or handle the strips. I don't believe its accurate, I got a reading of 297 waited 10mins tried again and it was 326. My body doesn't feel like my sugar is that high. I had the same results when I tested last week and the strips are too expensive to keep this up. Also, it does require a larger drop of blood and i've gotten several errors because of this. I want my Ultra one touch 2 back.

I like this meter; it is bigger than most but I like how you don't have to handle strips all the time. And no coding. I keep this meter at home and carry smaller ones with me.

This is the only meter that I have used since being diagnosed in August of this year. I find it easy to use.

Pros

I especially like the idea of the disk, as oppose to handling individual strips.

Cons

Cost containment would result in a better rating.

Probably use 1st 3 months of diagnosis.

Pros

Immaterial to me but meter does not require coding.

Cons

Dislike the strip wheel and larger blood deposit.

Use probably 1st 3 months of diagnosis then switched to the AccuChek Aviva.

Pros

For me its not a big deal but this meter does not require coding.

Cons

Compared to Accu Chek, Requires larger blood deposit and takes longer to provide results.

Used this meter perhaps the 1st 3 months of diagnosis then switch to Accu Chek Aviva.

Cons

Sometimes have problems loading the lancet wheel correctly, thus losing some of the lancets. This meter requires a larger deposit of blood. And.. although not of great importance, it takes longer to provide results.

I like this little meter because you don't have to handle the test strips. Click a button to pop out strip for use and click a button to dispose of strip. Very helpful.

Pros

It is quicker than having to find the small hole to put your test strip in when your eyesite is dem from your levels off

Cons

No cons
