Great Product 5 by .. #1 (Medina, Ohio)
I've had this meter for over two year. It is very accurate. Had it checked at hospital & Dr. office. Very easy to use and with the software results can be downloaded to your PC. Print a report and take to your next check-up. I like it much better than Accu-Chek.

Standard Meter 3 by .. Chicago Gal (Chicago Area)
I'm still looking for a more painfree meter. Started with this meter and find I have to have the needle setting quite high to get the blood drop. Too painful for me.

50% code 24 strips bad. Out of 550 bad strips lifescan would replace 100 1 by .. GroundStar (Battle Mountain, NV, USA)
After using code 24 strips for 5 weeks and getting invalid results. Being low and strips not showing a low. Taking too much insulan due to invalid results causing lows. Did 14 test solution tests with only 50% within range all others invalid. Lifescan would only replace 100 strips. 1 box out of 11 they would replace. Tossed them in the trash and went to a different company

Wonderful Meter! 5 by .. N. Terrell (KY)
I began testing on a meter that took 40 seconds to display results, so I was glad to find a OneTouch Ultra that took only 5 seconds. I switched to the Ultra 2 about 9 months ago, and I love it.




The main reason I switched was for the backlight. Silly, I know, but it makes such a difference. Also, you can add comments to your readings or flag them as before or after meals. I like the ability to check my averages based on all results, before meal results, or after meal results. The up/down buttons are helpful, too. No more scrolling all the way through if you accidentally skip over your number when coding the meter.



The OneTouch Ultra 2 isn't hard to use or full of extras that are useless. It seems to be just the right combination of helpful features that help keep tighter control.

Monitor Ultra 4 by .. M. Smilie (Fort Collins Co)
Very good monitor, though a bit klutzy at times regarding getting the strips into the slot, and getting sufficient blood to avoid wasting a test strip at nearly a buck apiece. The test strips are another story-getting them out of the bottle without spilling them, and getting them into place, especially if you forgot before doing the lancet--a pain the posterior to say the least!
