CONTOUR NEXT ONE Blood Glucose Monitoring System

Did you know that drinking coffee (no sugar, no creamer) can raise your blood glucose read by 50 units? It's the caffeine. Doesn't happen to everyone...I though for sure my rather elderly Contour glucose meter had gone to visit the great glucose meter in the sky when I kept seeing 160 after my morning Joe.So I ordered this new meter. Which luckily for me works with my current set of strips.Same results.Conclusion:Contour meters work for a stunningly long time (my old one is about 5 years old).Some people are no longer fasting if they drink black coffee before a blood test. (my doc used to allow black coffee... :(

I had a problem with my old monitor so I reached out to customer service who was able to determine my monitor was out of date. She offered to replace my monitor with the up to date version at not cost. It arrived promptly and so far I like the way it is working. I would recommend ordering from this company.

Muy bueno 😍😍😍😍

Thank you. Quick shipping and perfect packaging. After being a diabetic for 52 years I think this is my smallest glucose monitor. Thanks again!

As expected

Complete and well organized with items you need.

I really loved using it. It was accurate and the LED was good in letting me know in low light environments if I was within limits or not. The bluetooth capabilities are good and I didn't have any issues using it with my phone. As this isn't a review for the app, what I post regarding the app doesn't affect my overall star rating. The app needs help. A lot of it. There's not a lot of options to put into the app what you're actually doing when you take your test. I've only recently found a really good Glucose log that enables me to take pictures, post my weight, blood pressure, etc. along with my glucose readings so I can get a real idea of where things are in total. If this device had a good app like that it'd be the best on the market.

This meter is very simple to use and not having to code it for the test steps is an added benefit. While the meter requires very little blood for testing, it allows you to add more if needed instead of wasting a test strip. The display is large and bright making it easy to read. It is also color coded for a quick visual on where your reading is. Green, yellow and red for in range, going out of range and high. I also have a One Touch Ultra mini but the cost of the test strips is so outrageous I no longer use it. I bought this meter because of the good reviews and the reasonable cost of the strips. So far I am extremely pleased with my choice. I will say that the android phone app used for recording test results is not the most user friendly; it works well but it takes a little bit to get used to. I do not like that I have to connect to the internet and have my phone's gps on before it will sync my meter to it. The Contour device only requires bluetooth to connect to the phone but the app itself won't work without internet. Again annoying but not deal breaker as the Contour device itself does not require the phone to work and one can always keep a log the old fashioned way, with pen and paper. I highly recommend the Contour, I have used several different brands over the last 40 plus years and this device is very accurate.
