5.0 out of 5 stars Freestyle Lite, August 20, 2008

I got this meter from my doctor, so it was essentially chosen for me. That aside, I was expecting this difficult to use device with a poorly written instruction manual. My prior experience with glucose meters was limited to one my father had, and setting it up was quite the ordeal, so I was pleasantly surprised that getting the Freestyle Lite meter operational was a quick two minute process.

Also, the lancets for it are very thin and really don't hurt much at all, particularly if you use alternate site testing. The lancing device is very small and discrete, unlike the usual pen-shaped lancing devices.

The included case is compact and has room for a good supply of lancets, a bottle of test trips, the lancing device, the control solution and the meter, of course, so it is very good for taking with you to the office, travel and so on.

The meter itself is very solid and is well built, so I don't expect to have any problems with it any time soon. If I had to buy a meter, this would definitely be it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Freestyle Lite, May 8, 2008

My first blood glucose monitor was the old Freestyle monitor which was at the time the only monitor on the market that allowed alternate site testing. The Freestyle was very operator friendly and did require a very small blood sample. I loved this monitor.

The Freestyle Lite is just as good with the added benefit that the test srtips do not have to be coded.

This is a great blod glucose monitor for those of use that prefer to do alternate site testing.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT METER!, May 28, 2009

My doctor gave me this meter, and because of that I decided to give it a better try than the free ones I had gotten in the mail from other companies. I tried them all, and I will stay with this one! I also recommend it to my family and friends. There is little, or no pain when I stick my finger, and the amount of blood needed is small compared to the need of the other meters I have. The only problem I have had, is when trying to be thrifty, I tried to use a strip twice (They have a test site on each side, I guess for right and left handed people, so I thought I'd try to save money!), and got the error message. I installed a new strip, and had a good reading.
It is real easy to read with the back light, quick, and has a great memory for past reading when I forget to write them down, or forget my pen at work.
