5.0 out of 5 stars Painless and Easy!, January 22, 2009

By	Karyn "KK" (Maine) - See all my reviews

I was diagnosed with diabetes last year. I was given the Freestyle Lite monitor by my doctor. I liked it--it is smaller than the Accu-Chek but the lancet is comparatively more painful than the Multiclix lancet device that comes with the Accu-Chek. The main reason I switched is because the Accu-Chek was my insurance company's preferred meter and the copay for the strips was considerably less ($35 for 50 Freestyle Lite strips and $5 for 90 Accu-Chek strips). Both store readings and have alarms. Both require only a small amount of blood for testing, but I found that the Accu-Chek didn't seem to need as much as the Freestyle Lite. Also, the Freestyle lancet gave me little "wounds" from where I had tested, whereas the Accu-Chek did not, and--may I say it again?--the Multiclix was much more comfortable to obtain a sample--it was literally painless compared to Freestyle Lite.

Even if you don't change your meter you might want to just buy the Multiclix (sold separately also). You won't believe the difference!

There is "no coding" with the Freestyle Lite but there is with the Accu-Chek--that was no big deal at all doing that.

All in all, I prefer the Accu-Chek to the FreeStyle Lite. The FreeStyle is smaller, though, FYI.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy, Portable & Accurate, December 13, 2008

By	D. L. Kandela (Kuwait) - See all my reviews

I would say this is probably the best unit I have come across. Its easy to setup and use.

Delivery was on time and in perfect condition. Setup took less than a minute in fact by the second minute we already were done with the first test.

The memory function/feature comes in handy in monitoring both our test results.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fast and convenient, February 24, 2009

By	Mrs. J "Happy wife and mom" (Northern CA) - See all my reviews

I bought this to calm my doctor's nerves and my own curiosity when I was pregnant, because I had one high reading on my glucose tolerance test.

The monitor is VERY easy to use, and I can't believe how fast the reading is. The lancet just gives a tiny little prick, and the test strips require just a tiny bit of blood (which I appreciate). Overall, it worked well for my need, and kept my doctor from being too worried that I had gestational diabetes.
