I am like imadis, I love the pots.And I have always been "tester" of all those who have been dating, some of them have not even been marketed in Spain.
This usb contour is like after a day of use.It is very small and the strips are very small too.A priori this is for me something fundamental and what I value most in a meter as a young person I am.Although then in the end they spoil everything with the container of the strips (a devastating round tube that occupies a lot of space), as well as with the bag in which you carry both.I still recoup that glucometer (one of its different evolutions) that came in a beautiful, compact and reduced rigid container that was passionate about its very low size.In fact, it is the meter-chiller-pole-smaller set that I have ever had.And it has already rained since then.
Returning to the Usb Contour, its screen is in color and in principle it could be thought that it is nonsense, but if we have hypo or hyper, the result comes out in different colors, which attracts attention, in addition to that a message on the screen passesIn Scroll mode below.Likewise, it allows us to establish a rear reminder to a measurement (in case we need to measure ourselves later by a specific event), and the device will whistle us reminding us that we must measure ourselves.
When you have measured, and while you wait for 5 seconds, you can mark if it is pre or post that measurement.Useful to group the data later and assess them properly later.
It also has a light in the "mouth" of the strip, very useful in low light conditions.Something that seems silly, but if you have ever measured in the middle of a movie, you will understand and value what I tell you :-)
Finally, data contradiction.
I hit the measurements that I have made since yesterday with both:
(The first figure always belongs to Contour and the second to the XCEED)
Breakfast: 186 - 249
When I went to bed: 170 - 200
Dinner: 66 - 58
Mid -afternoon: 191 - 218
(I have not been able to make a statute, I'm sorry, I don't allow me the messages).
As you can see, the XCEDD is always above, but it would not yet know what it is that it offers the most correct measurement, since in hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia values, the meters is when they offer their highest error.When you look with a meter (whatever it is) and you have more than 250, remember that the results with different meters can vary by up to 80-100 mg/dl, since its precision plummeted.
Together, I must say that I am liking for several reasons, that I consider important (the first 3):
1. its size.It's small, what I always look for in a meter.
2. The strips have a simply excellent capillarity, which makes the necessary blood very scarce.
3. The strips are very small (if I find any type of smaller container than the tube that brings from the factory, I will transfer the strips to the new container and I can save some space.
Additionally, you also have your "point" with things like these:
4. Its color screen allows you to see the "special" data (hypo and hyper) more easily, as it shows them in another color.
5. It has an additional memory that allows us to be used as a standard pendrive (although scarce, it is only 500 MB).
Ah, and his prick.The new microlet2 that brings seemed to me that - for the moment - clicks very well.It has been a soft and painless puncture.So far I have always thought that the best prick was the softclix (and now the Multiclix), but it promises, despite being mechanically simpler (ah, and very tiny too).
PS: I have not tried its self -demand soft that shows the results on the computer.As I said, you do not need installation, so you can see whenever you want the stockings and graphs on any computer.
