4.0 out of 5 stars More Good Than Bad, September 7, 2008

By	K. Lee (bronx, usa) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My personal experience with diabetes is gestational. I've had it with each pregnancy. I also have many family members who are diabetic and I try to educate myself about this in order to help my family and because my chances of developing Type 2 diabetes in the future is a reality. But enough about me.
I received the Freestyle Freedom Lite for free through Abbott.
Pros:
-It uses the smallest blood sample.
-You can test from multiple sites.
-The lancing device doesn't hurt at all.
-There are 2 different lancets you can use with the device.
-Easy set up.
-Almost instant results.
-NO CODING NECESSARY!!!
Cons:
-Test strips are small & can be expensive, but that's any glucose meter.
-The case is small & flimsy.
-The unit itself is smooth so it feels like it could jump out of your hand if you aren't careful.

I recommend this system. It's easy to use and all of the accessories are easy to find. The pros definitely outweigh the cons. Good luck!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent meter, April 27, 2009

By	J. S. Schlatter "jschlat" (Midwest United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a very good meter that is small and easy to use. Although it requires a very small amount of blood (about the size of a pin head), it takes a few bits of practice to get by with this little.

Be aware that this package comes with:
Meter
Lancet device
10 Lancets
case

It does NOT contain the control solution or any test strips.
