Pros:

Very easy to use.

Strips are a little costly.

Very easy to use.

Pros:

Less error messages - in fact, none so far. Light on test strip area then on meter display is helpful. Small blood sample, fast reading time. The 'beep' helps too! Has alarm capability.

Cons:

High cost of strips.

This is the only meter I've used, so far I'm loving it. It's really easy to use, minimal amount of blood needed and fast results. Luckily my insurance pays 100% of strip cost as they're a bit expensive.

Pros:

small blood sample, quick and easy to use, result in 5 seconds or less (usually), light so you can still test in dark when necessary. Freestyle Promise program.

Cons:

Price of strips

I like the size of the meter.I would definitely carry it with me but I always test high on this product. I'm not saying I shouldn't have sometimes but all the time?

Pros:

Lite compact

Cons:

Not enough test strips to get used to it
