Rating: - Accurate & Lower Usage Cost
This meter is a slightly older model (newer models have "lite" in name) but is every bit as accurate. The BIG PLUS -- the test strips are much cheaper than those used in the "lite" models.
Rating:  - I'm not sure I trust this monitor.
I've had a number of problems with my glucose monitor.
The ten test strips that came with it seem to have been bad even though the expiration date was still good. They gave me high readings and also widely varying readings with the control solution.
Abbott customer service was very responsive and when I told them about the problem they sent me 50 test strips and two more bottles of control solution at no charge. They even offered to send a replacement meter.

Rating:  - Horribly inaccurate
On the plus side, (the only star), the device take less blood than the meter I was used to. On the minus side, even after careful setting, calibrating, coding, etc., even on the same drop of blood -I got carried away after things didn't make sense-, the readings (three of them) were off by over 30 (THIRTY) PERCENT. For blood glucose control that is not acceptable, as matter of fact, it is dangerous. I threw the piece of junk away and rather give a little extra blood every day.
Rating: - easy to use
This item is very easy to use. I was surprised at being able to get results with so little blood!
