Great starter kit or upgrade
I've been using One Touch meters for almost 10 years now and never have had any problems with the meters I've used in the past. So far the readings have always been accurate compared to the ones in the doctor office and my A1c.<br />But... there were times in the past when I could not afford the strips - at $50 to $100 a pack of strips it wasn't possible. I had to use a different meter with strips that either were affordable or prescribed and covered by my insurance.<br />Now that there are generic test strips that work with the One Touch meter I am back and happily so.<br />I was so excited to come back to using One Touch that I bought the whole kit just so I could have a new meter - even though my older one still works well - I have 2 (one to carry with me and one at home).<br />These strips are very easy to use, need a decent drop of blood and I've only come across an error twice in a month - I test every morning for fastings and again at least once during the day for randoms. I'm T2 and on insulin. Testing is very important to me, especially before injecting insulin.<br /><br />This meter I'd recommend to others who are also looking for something affordable and a meter that is easy to read - large printout.<br />The set in this kit is very nice as well - the lancing device is not one of my favorites but it does the job well (I wouldn't recommend to someone who is recently diagnosed though because the lancing device makes such a noise that is intimidating or scary and you can see the lancet move forward to jab you in the finger). The trigger on this lancing device is a little rough and it hurts sometimes for me and I have it on setting #2.... and I inject insulin every day so I'm used to needles.<br /><br />Overall this is a great starter pack or even an upgrade.
