Glucometers that allow insufficient blood?

Once I had a glucometer that when you put little blood, I told you to put more, instead of telling you "error, put a new strip."I was quite comfortable, but I don't remember what it is.

Do you know what models or brands do they work like this?

Hi, @Farstar
I use Bayer's contour xT glucometer, which is the one that gave me social security.
If the drop is insufficient, the pita glucometer and an image comes out on the screen of a strip that does not have enough blood.
You have about 20 seconds to put more blood in that strip.If it takes more, then it gives you error and you have to put a new strip.

The Bayer Countour are the best glucometers in the market.

Next contour, it also has that function, but it requires so little blood that it jumps a few times and is very reliable in results.
