"I like it because it is small,there is no need to use codes for the test strips and you can download your history easier than the other ones in market. I also have to say that I loved the text message service 60777 to count carbs when u are not at home!It is amazing!"

"small and compact, meter is better at picking up the blood on the stick. as my older one had trouble sometimes.

Really great feature that i can plug it into my laptop and keep track that way as well as keep track on screen via the display.

The display is briliant! nice and bright and easy to see. in whatever light conditions"

"Nice meter, easy to set up and use. Only problem is it seems to need more blood than the guide suggested so wasted a lancet and 2 test strips."

"Sleek design, which is very quick and easy to use - pc connectivity with USB is brilliant for keeping track of results. Would love the option to add custom markers (specifically for sporting activity) and the nightime light (great idea) should stay on automatically rather than time out defeating the purpose of this function."

"I have only just got this new meter from my GP diabetes nurse, as I find it hard to keep a record of my blood sugar levels, And I think it is brilliant. If only it had been out years before. :)"

"I find the USB meter very easy to use, especially the colour screen interface, keeping check on trends and logbook is a dream. The ergonomic shape in particular of the meter, make handling and testing BG levels a doddle"

"I love this meter. Easy to use and configure. Also the app is good. Downside would be nice to have a usb cable as some ports can not take this device as it is to fat.."

"Love the meter, it's easy to use, no coding needed, easy to use at night too with the test strip light. The software package is not so good, needs to include manual entry of test results such as HbA1c results, eye test, foot check results, Cholesterol checks, etc, all of these are important issues to a diabetic. Would like to see these improvements on the next software update! "

"Excellent way to manage your Diabetes and to record the results in a format that can easily be shown and discussed with the Consultant / Doctor. You can very clearly see trends developing so can react quickly and make the necessary adjustments. The device itself is stylish and very user friendly."

"I like storing 400 results but if you want to review them you have to go backwards to get to the earliest. On other meters you can go both ways. Testing in the dark is a great bonus however the light needs to stay on a longer. Sometimes you test then pullout the strip then wonder what it said. You then have to switch the meter back on & select logbook. Takes longer than standard contour meter Enhancements needed: Add 'number of units of insulin' to the notes and having 'activity' as an option."

"Excellent meter - this really is making my life a lot easier!

I've actually bought 2 of these and I'm looking forward to combining the 2 results.

It could do with having more options when adding notes. Also when you add blood - if you add too little, it asks you to start again with a fresh strip. In my opinion this is a waste of strips and there should be more time allowed to add more blood."

"this meter is spot on i found it easy to use and the p.c software is simple to install and understand. in my view the only way to improve it is 2 make it smaller."

"Device is great, software not so much. The software takes 10 minutes to load on Windows 7 Ultimate.
Would love to be able to record amount of insulin used and amount of carbs eaten.
Battery is great, lasts at least a month before i need to charge it. The screen is great and clear and i like how you can add notes to your readings, such as Unwell, Activity, Don't feel right and stress."
