Ascensia CONTOUR NEXT GEN Blood Glucose Monitor All-In-One Kit with 20 Test Strips, Accurate Blood Sugar Monitor, Easy-to-Use Glucose Meter, Portable and Reliable Diabetes Testing Kit

Replaces 2004 version of this device. There are several significant operating changes due to HIV and COVID 19. Sample drawing is less painful due to pin prick vs lancet injury. The meter is vastly more competent in that it has vastly more options to personalize and store the test results. Bluetooth and smart device connectivity, and the app provide more useable information to me. The learning curve was moderate, and took two hours to master. The test results are consistent with my older device. It is very affordable. I am pre diabetic and am making lifestyle changes to avoid CKD and type 2 diabetes.

Easy and accurate. Great value.

PRO: Easy to use, Quality parts, and Convenient pouch. No cons to note. Great for anyone needing to check their glucose levels periodically at home.

I ordered this glucose monitor as I started TPN, which is nutrition delivered via an IV line. Doctor’s orders were test every six hours. I ordered this kit as it is an incredible value and it had incredible reviews. I see why the reviews were so high- it’s a solid monitor for the money and comes with everything you need to monitor your levels. The kit comes with two packs of test strips, lancets, lancing device, and the monitor itself. It also comes with a super convenient carrying case that holds everything for on the go! I will admit, the clarity of instructions could be improved. There is a lot of info to take in. There are several symbols etc that you need to memorize. Aside from that, this monitor is incredibly accurate. I haven’t had a single inaccurate reading. Test strips are affordable and offer a 60-second re-sampling window in the event you don’t get enough blood onto the test strip on the first go. The lancing device comes with the kit and it includes a small supply of lancets. The lancing device has 5 depth settings and is incredibly easy to use. The device works with most lancets available on Amazon. The device is incredibly easy to use and nearly painless. I set the depth at 4 personally. I find I’m able to get the proper amount of blood without having to restick another finger. Given I recently purchased this, I cannot speak to battery life. However, the device is incredibly easy to read and the device offers Bluetooth sync with the Contour app for iPhone. It keeps all your readings in sync for ease of access and to easily share with your care team. It also syncs with Apple Health. This kit is an incredible value for the money. The test strips are reliable and affordable. I’d strongly recommend this kit to those needing to monitor their levels with confidence and accuracy. My advice is to add more test strips and a box of lancets to your order as the kit includes a small supply of lancets. It’s always good to have plenty on hand in the event you need to frequently check levels. Incredible value for the money!

I’ve used a different popular brand of meter for years. Back in the day my doctor would give me boxes with new meters. The strips got so expensive. Recently I got a a box of bad strips that cost over $50. I needed something more reasonably priced. So I asked grok AI to pull information from the internet and recommend a brand. It came up with 2. This meter was one of them. It told me more than once that this one was more accurate than the brand I had. It certainly has more reasonably priced strips. I got this Contour meter quickly and I’ve tried it. The only negative about it are the tiny little dates and times at the top that are hard to read. I needed a code to put in to connect it to the app and I had to so much trouble seeing them that I had to have someone look at it and read them to me, but once it was connected to the app, the meter beeps and works quickly, showing a color near the strip port to show highs and lows. I downloaded the app to my smart phone and the meter reading show up immediately. It gives you a great overall feeling of where your blood sugars have been during the day. The reasonable price of the strips makes it possible to take your blood glucose readings more often I did this subscribe and save for the strips so that they are just delivered to me as I need them. So far, it has been a good experience and I’m not sorry that I changed brands after 15 years.

This glucose monitor was recommended to me by my vet for my diabetic cat to monitor his glucose at home, to avoid the frequent costly vet visits to check in office. I jumped into with no knowledge of diabetes or monitoring glucose. While there was a learning curve to getting enough blood on the test strips, due to my lack of experience and difficulty with my cat - this kit was very easy to use and straight forward. As someone with no experience, I was able to quickly get the hang of glucose testing. This kit came with everything I needed to get started at a very reasonable price. The lancing device is very easy to use and the instructions are very thorough. I was able to purchase generic brand lancets once I used all of the included lancets. This kit was a lifesaver and allowed us to manage and track my cat's glucose.

I’ve been using the Ascensia CONTOUR NEXT GEN glucose monitor for a while now and I’m honestly very satisfied with it. The readings are quick and consistent, which gives me confidence when checking my levels daily. The device is very easy to use, even for beginners. I also like that it requires a very small blood sample and the results appear in seconds. The design is compact, so it’s easy to carry anywhere. Another thing I appreciate is how clear the screen is and how simple it is to understand the numbers. Overall, this is a reliable and convenient glucose monitor that I would definitely recommend.
