And are they the best glucometers?

I wanted to buy me a contour Next because it said a study that was published here recently, which were the most precise.But after seeing this, I think I will continue with those I have:

Because if that is the difference in low values, imagine what should be in high values.

And think that there are diabetics that "calibrate" the sensor with gluconometers ...

@Sherpa41:

I have a contour Next and I find it more precise than the freestyle reader.

In my case I can tell you that their values ​​are very close to those of the sensor.

The approval standard says (simplifying): +/- 15 mg/dl for values ​​& lt; 100 mg/dl y +/- 15% for values ​​& gt; 100 mg/dl 95% of the time

If it had 65 mg/dl "real" the three glucometers are correct;They mark between 50 and 80. A little to the limit.

If I had 70, two would be "good" and the other ...

I wanted to go to Contour Next, but among this video and that in Amazon they are worth the strips € 35, compared to € 20 of those of the freestyle ... it is almost double price.

@Sherpa41, you can ask for the contour Next at the Health Center and a box of strips a month.At least that is what they give here in addition to the sensors.

Here in my case, the same SS gives myself the glucometer, the puncture and the strips box, I do not know if it is necessary or not, but ... I can say that it has good details such as that by means of an app and via Bluetot, the results are recorded in the app, gives a scale of every day, the average of 7 -14 - 30 - 90 days, etc.

In my ambulatory I think they only give contour Next so I heard the nurses the other day, when collecting the sensors.The strips are the cheapest.As € 0.5 the strip for the SS.

And as I said in another post, it is one of the most precise according to several clinical studies.

And that the margin of error is how I said before.Much greater than we think.

They have really stopped investigating in glucometers.There is no new business.Now they put sensor to all who have to measure ourselves 6 times a day

To opt for the glucometer you can choose directly to ask the house.

Usually sending an email either to Elevise, Acu-Check, Onetouch, indicating your diabetic status and that you request such glucelometro by wanting to change the current one ... They usually send you in 3-4 days one without problem or cost.

Also if the gluconist over time gives problems (error with the strips, consumes the batteries very fast after changing the series, etc.) sending an email exposing the case and providing an image or video they send you a new one immediately, a objection.

We have enough, as above that diabetes is also an economic toll more if it fits from what it is (adhesives, glue and bands for sensors, gluc up and the like, refrigerators for insulin transport, etc.)

I suppose that you will have already resolved the question of the choice, but if in the future you will be raised again, you can have alternatives that are not all going through the box.

All the best

Good morning

What do you think of Freestyle Opium Neo?

The a priori apparatus seems interesting by the measurement of ketone bodies and the doses of insulin (in the past they promoted it as a bowling calculator), which was why I became interested in that time where they asked to be through the endocrine.

Measurement of ketone bodies can serve you in specific moments of disease or in themselves, a situation that implies a resistance of your body to the number of usual insulin and a continuous high level of blood glucose.

For those, there was also the problem that Health will facilitate the strips, since at least in my health center I did not have that brand, now they are supplied without any problem.
