About CONTOUR NEXT ONE Blood Glucose Monitoring System All-in-One Kit for Diabetes
Overall Feedback:
69% positive
68% praised for its accurate readings, while 32% experienced inconsistent results
I checked both my hands twice and found that the numbers were only off by one digit. My left hand showed 88 for fasting and my right hand showed 87 for fasting.
The monitor is very accurate with readings identical to those of the laboratory.
I did a check 2 times on both hands and the numbers were only off by one digit. This indicates that the accuracy of the blood glucose monitor is good.
The accuracy and repeatability of the blood glucose monitor is the most important feature. The readings are usually consistent, with occasional variations of 15 points.

72% found it easy to operate
The blood glucose monitor is easy to use and read. The colored light makes it easier to know where my sugars are and what I need to do depending on the levels, which shows my positive sentiment towards the feature of ease of use of blood-glucose-monitors.
I appreciate the blood glucose monitor's ease of use and second chance feature if I don't get the blood out of my fingers in time, and my mother is happy with it too.
I found it easy to pair the meter with my phone using Bluetooth. The app features, particularly the patterns feature, were very helpful.
The device is easy to use as it does not require any app.

75% liked the high-quality test strips, though 25% experienced expired or faulty strips
The accuracy and repeatability of the test strip is the best feature of the product. I have used it with Dexcom 6 and when I add a new sensor every 10 days, I take three readings with the Contour Next to calibrate the Dexcom 6. Occasionally, I get numbers like 106, 104, 107, and every now and then there may be one off by 15 but NOT that often.
I wear a Dexcom 6 and take three readings with the Contour Next to calibrate it. The test strip quality has accuracy and repeatability, with numbers like 106, 104, 107, and occasionally one off by 15.
I bought the contour on my own because it has 8.1% deviation 95% of the time.
I tried to use the control solution with the testing strips in the kit, but I couldn't get an additional reading after much ado, resulting in the wastage of 7 test strips. Also, I noticed that the testing strips in the kit expire on a specific date and the control solution - purchased separately - expires on a different date.

67% appreciated the long battery life, but 33% experienced frequent battery drain
Once I register the product, I will receive free batteries for life and a 5-year warranty, indicating that the blood-glucose-monitor has a good battery life.
I had to change the batteries twice since I received the product.
Upon arrival, the battery was almost dead and I may only get a couple of weeks of use before it dies.
75% found it convenient to carry around
The monitor is portable and has a feature where you have a minute to prick and get more blood a second chance and not waste the test strip.
