Ascensia CONTOUR NEXT GEN Blood Glucose Monitoring System – All-in-One Kit for Diabetes with Glucose Monitor and 20 Test Strips For Blood Sugar & Glucose Testing

Just what I needed. Even though my old one was still working well, in the world of diabetes we know that after several years of use a newer version is in order. At least that is what I read. So I'll keep my old one for back up and begin using my new one.It worked perfectly, quickly and with ease. It was completely accurate with my Dexcom Continuous Sensor. Accuracy is vital for diabetics. I use it weekly to confirm my Dexcom Sensor is working properly. Why you may ask. Every now and then there are sensor failures and a finger stick can verify all is well.

After reading some of the bad reviews, was unsure about this purchase. However, in researching this meter, it did score high so I decided to give it a try. Before this purchase, I was using an old CVS model. It was right-on when comparing meter results against lab results. But because it was an older model, thought I should upgrade. I did get everything I was supposed to in the package. Some people mentioned they didn’t get this or that. Not sure why. Right away, I was able to figure out the meter almost without referring to the instructions. User friendly. I like the size of the meter—not too small. And the # results are very clear to see. I like the microlet lancets in that they deliver a minimal prick, and the lancet device is easy to use. I checked the blood droplet on the new meter against the old and the results were only a few points off. I did this for three days and got similar results for both meters. I did notice one day that if you didn’t push the stick into the meter all the way, of course, it wouldn’t read. The sticks aren’t firm so you have to be gentle but constant to make sure the stick reaches the end. It would be nice if they had a bit more meat on them. But they work. Thus 4 stars. I do like that it syncs to your phone. I’m not a technical wizard but I do like all the current technology. The syncing program isn’t particularly fancy but it keeps a record, and will give you an average. When it comes time for my next A1c, it will be interesting to see if the lab average matches the Contour average. The little black bag is useless to me. They are never big enough.UPDATE. Have had the glucose meter now for almost a month. I do like it. Not a problem with the sticks—like I said—gentle but constant. When I first got it, I played around with the app to understand all that it has to offer. It takes a few days to a week to clearly figure it out. Very nice. It records when you stick, the results and the average. Nice colorful images. A1c time will tell… Definitely would recommend. Changed from 4 stars to 5.

Was in need for a new one when my sensor was defective and I didn’t have a back up on vacation. Same as my tester at home which I love. Easy to use

An absolutely disgusting device that does not justify a single penny spent on it. The main problem is the test strips. They constantly refuse to read blood! Even if you strictly follow the instructions, there is a high probability that the analysis will fail, and you will have to use a new strip. As a result, you are simply wasting strips and, what is even worse, your time. The costs of these strips are rapidly increasing, which makes using a glucometer not only inconvenient, but also financially burdensome.The needles are a separate horror. They are of incredibly mediocre quality. Compared to needles from other companies, there is a clear feeling that the manufacturer saved on basic comfort for users.Another critical drawback is the complete unreliability of the results. If you do the test with a difference of three minutes, the results will be completely different. The device simply cannot provide stability and accuracy, which is extremely dangerous, especially for people who need to carefully monitor their sugar levels.In general, this is an extremely low-quality and unreliable glucometer. Buying this device is a waste of money and constant stress. I sincerely recommend avoiding Contour Next GEN and choosing something more proven and high-quality. Do not risk your health with such a device.

I recently purchased this glucose meter out of curiosity and for general wellness monitoring—I’m not diabetic, but I wanted something reliable and easy to use. This device exceeded my expectations.The setup was incredibly straightforward right out of the box. There’s no need to calibrate it, which makes it ideal for someone who doesn’t want to deal with extra steps or complicated instructions. Just insert a test strip, apply a small drop of blood, and you’re good to go.The design is intuitive, with a clear screen and simple buttons. It comes with a nice, compact pouch that holds everything neatly, making it very convenient for travel or everyday use.While I personally don’t have diabetes, I can confidently say that this glucose meter would be a great choice for someone who does. It’s user-friendly, low-maintenance, and reliable—everything you’d want in a device you might be using daily.Highly recommended for anyone looking for a no-fuss, dependable glucose monitor

A little tricky for the first use of the monitor as we kept getting error messages, but now we know what we're doing and you just need to get the blood within the line on the strip. There is colored lights that let you know where you are in range, yellow, Red and green. Cheaper strips than some other brands which is why we switched!
