Hello,
I am type 1 diabetic, for 6 years now.I use Bayer's contour Next One for a while now and after trying several meters.
Social security has always given me all the necessary material.
That week went to the ambulatory to collect reactive strips and lancetas as always.My surprise was that they told me that Bayer, Abbott and other brands in the Community of Madrid no longer give me reactive strips, and that health will give a single glucose meter with their respective material (strips, and lancetas).
The meter is called Glucomem Areo 2K.
I've been using it for 5 days, but it's disastrous.It takes a lot to come on, it does not recognize its same strips.In addition, you have to put a lot of blood in the strip very fast, if not, give error, and again to get more blood desperately.The strips are fat and I think they are 0.6 microliters, which implies puncturing more deeply, and more injured.
My question is, where can you buy some bayer strips at a good price?
It seems that I am a Bayer commercial, but believe me are the best, from my own experience.
Or do you know of some other meter that requires a 0.3 µl blood sample?
Some of you, the same seems to be the volume of the sample, but none.
The most current and modern models barely need 0.3 blood microliters to perform the test, very small quantity, if we compare it with the majority that they usually need 0.6µL.
What I do not understand is, as in 2019 there are still 0.5 or 0.6 µl meters!If you click 5 or 6 times a day, you destroy your fixed fingers.
That is like pricking insulin with 8 mm needles, having the possibility of other finer needles of 5 mm.
I await your information.
Thanks and greetings!
