Ascensia CONTOUR NEXT GEN Blood Glucose Monitor All-In-One Kit with 20 Test Strips, Accurate Blood Sugar Monitor, Easy-to-Use Glucose Meter, Portable and Reliable Diabetes Testing Kit

Replaces 2004 version of this device. There are several significant operating changes due to HIV and COVID 19. Sample drawing is less painful due to pin prick vs lancet injury. The meter is vastly more competent in that it has vastly more options to personalize and store the test results. Bluetooth and smart device connectivity, and the app provide more useable information to me. The learning curve was moderate, and took two hours to master. The test results are consistent with my older device. It is very affordable. I am pre diabetic and am making lifestyle changes to avoid CKD and type 2 diabetes.

Good tester and kit to start with, the refill strips are also cheaper than many others

I’ve been using the Ascensia CONTOUR NEXT GEN glucose monitor for a while now and I’m honestly very satisfied with it. The readings are quick and consistent, which gives me confidence when checking my levels daily. The device is very easy to use, even for beginners. I also like that it requires a very small blood sample and the results appear in seconds. The design is compact, so it’s easy to carry anywhere. Another thing I appreciate is how clear the screen is and how simple it is to understand the numbers. Overall, this is a reliable and convenient glucose monitor that I would definitely recommend.

I ordered this glucose monitor as I started TPN, which is nutrition delivered via an IV line. Doctor’s orders were test every six hours. I ordered this kit as it is an incredible value and it had incredible reviews. I see why the reviews were so high- it’s a solid monitor for the money and comes with everything you need to monitor your levels. The kit comes with two packs of test strips, lancets, lancing device, and the monitor itself. It also comes with a super convenient carrying case that holds everything for on the go! I will admit, the clarity of instructions could be improved. There is a lot of info to take in. There are several symbols etc that you need to memorize. Aside from that, this monitor is incredibly accurate. I haven’t had a single inaccurate reading. Test strips are affordable and offer a 60-second re-sampling window in the event you don’t get enough blood onto the test strip on the first go. The lancing device comes with the kit and it includes a small supply of lancets. The lancing device has 5 depth settings and is incredibly easy to use. The device works with most lancets available on Amazon. The device is incredibly easy to use and nearly painless. I set the depth at 4 personally. I find I’m able to get the proper amount of blood without having to restick another finger. Given I recently purchased this, I cannot speak to battery life. However, the device is incredibly easy to read and the device offers Bluetooth sync with the Contour app for iPhone. It keeps all your readings in sync for ease of access and to easily share with your care team. It also syncs with Apple Health. This kit is an incredible value for the money. The test strips are reliable and affordable. I’d strongly recommend this kit to those needing to monitor their levels with confidence and accuracy. My advice is to add more test strips and a box of lancets to your order as the kit includes a small supply of lancets. It’s always good to have plenty on hand in the event you need to frequently check levels. Incredible value for the money!

I had to get a new glucose meter because test strips were hard to find. The NEW meter has easy to find test strips and lancets. The soft case wasn’t very helpful but easy to remedy. Tossed the old meter but kept the case. New meter seems to be more accurate and has a better app.

Meter works well. Instructions were good although they could have made a booklet for the instructions instead of having to unfold the instructions like a map. The carrying case was made of a nylon materialaking it feel cheap with no section dedicated to the meter or the lancing device which is the only reason I gave it 4 stars. I know it's kinda petty but they could have made the case out of canvas.

This has been really helpful for managing my blood sugar. It’s easy to set up, gives quick readings, and the results have been consistent so far. The device is compact and convenient to carry, and the kit includes everything needed to get started. Overall, a dependable monitor that makes daily checking much easier.

This is my first monitor so I am new to the whole process. It was easy to use, and interfaces with the App as well as Apple Health. And don’t worry about the finger prick. On the lowest settings I did not feel it but produced the volume of blooded needed.
