Best Yet,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: One Touch UltraMini Glucose Monitoring System - Lime Light (Health and Beauty)
I've used several glucose monitors during the last ten years or so and the One Touch is clearly the best of the bunch. It's fast, easy to use, very accurate (I compare my monitors' readings with those obtained in my doctor's office), and reasonably priced.

Misleading product description - beware,
This review is from: One Touch UltraMini Glucose Monitoring System - Lime Light (Health and Beauty)
The product description states "Complete testing system includes everything you need", but this does not include the needed test strips costing 2-4 times more.

Expensive but worth it for accuracy,

This review is from: One Touch UltraMini Glucose Monitoring System - Lime Light (Health and Beauty)
I went back to OneTouch after trying cheaper meters. I'm on oral medications and diet control, and I want to stay that way. I also have no health insurance and am private pay. I find OneTouch gives me accurate results, and the meter also survives banging around in my purse all day. The little meter really fits in your purse or backpack better if you design your own case out of something else, even a ziplock bag and duct tape (check the diabetes forums).
In response to the low review, it's true the strips are very expensive. For the bottle of 100 the best price I found was $79.00. You can find strips that expire in 6 months instead of a year on the Web for that price. I also found Together Rx Access on the web, which is a card the drug companies put out for people do not have insurance or state aid, which gives you a discount. Doctors sometimes have samples if you tell them you have problems with the cost of the strips. What works best for me is to decide with my doctor how often to do a pre and post meal test (once a week), and then test right away if I have symptoms or get sick. Once you're under control and if you are willing to stay on a diabetic diet, that works. The way it worked out for me, I got the meter for free during a pharmacy special, then paying the price and rationing the more expensive strips is less expensive than one ER visit after my cheap meter gives me a series of inaccurate results, or worse, living with permanent eye or kidney damage when the cheap meter fails to tell me my sugar is running just high enough to do harm.
