Bayer Contour USB Blood Glucose Test Meter 4.7 5 29 35
A very excellent product. I've had this meter for about a month and its the best one that I've ever owned. I like the bright screen and the light up test strip port. i like the fact that you can plug it in and the software starts up and you can see how your doing and even print reports or save reports and send them to your drs. its sleek and a accurate. 12/17/2009
Great Glucose Monitor The Bayer Countour monitor works wonderfully. Being able to download my daily readings periodically to my computer is wonderful. This function saves me a great deal of time, i.e., not having to record my readings 3 to 4 times daily. Plus, I no longer have to carry my glucose record with me at all times. The software has fantastic reporting abilities. I prepare the reports before seeing my doctor. All of this information is readily available on my PC. This device makes handing this disease much easier. 12/29/2009
Works Great! I've been using my meter for one month now. When I received the meter I read the instructions, charged the meter, took a blood sample, selected "After Meal" on the meter, the meter gave me the reading, simple. I then registered my meter, I then downloaded the latest version of GLUCOFACTS Deluxe to my computer. I manually entered a few older readings from another meter. I've continued taking readings and downloaded the readings to my computer when I get around to it. I never liked logbooks, too little space, couldn't get trends, etc. I took my reports into my primary care and when he saw the reports he said "WOW". I was able to give him the info he needed by quickly looking at my reports. He could easily see my trends by looking at the trends graph. I use my meter with Windows 7. 06/28/2010
