This kit didn't come with directions, which is not a big deal, since I was able to find it online easily. However, if you never used a blood glucose test kit, then you will probably need more instructions. You will find some good instructions on Youtube.
All the components appear to be top quality and fits neatly into a zippered case that came with the kit. The electronic meter is well designed and simple to operate. The meter keeps a record of all tests with time stamp, displays the average value in mg/dL and number of tests performed. The test strips have an expiration date of about 1 year.
Pros:
This kit does not require the user to enter a code for different batches of test strips.
Repeated tests done immediately give fairly reproducible numbers (within +\- 8).
Comes with everything you need to run 100 tests.
Nice zippered pack that can hold enough for 50 tests.
Very economical at less than $40.
Cons:
You have to lance your finger every time you want to check your glucose level (same with all other kits, so maybe not really a con).
No directions came with the kit.
No reference glucose solution came with the kit (you can buy one separately), but the meter is accurate so you may not need one.
Here is the sequence of running a test:
Sterilize a finger tip with an alcohol pad (best to use your ring finger, since you don't use this finger that much).
Insert a new lance into the spring loaded lancing device, twist off the cap of the lance, close the device and set puncture depth (I use almost the maximum setting).
Insert a new test strip into the meter to turn it on.
Your finger should be dry by now, so put the loaded lance device on the sterilized area and push the button to produce a small drop of blood.
Touch the blood port of the test strip with the drop of blood on your finger to load the test strip and automatically start the test.
Wait 5 seconds for the result to be displayed (normal is about 100mg/dL).
Wipe your finger tip with the alcohol pad you used before the test, stick the sharp tip of the used lance into the center of the cap/disk before discarding with the used test strip.
Over all, I'm very happy with this kit. Now I can test how different food or activity changes my blood glucose.
The unit showed up right on time and in pristine condition with all items in tow. The first thing I noticed was the really good tactile feedback you get when inserting a test strip. There is a little resistance and a little click so you know you're set and then the audible that tells you it's ready for the blood sample. Lancet pen worked fine and painless and the unit appeared to need very little blood for testing. Results showed on a nice large screen in about 5 seconds or so and you can save results in the device. So far I have not had any weird readings and have not had to use more than one strip per test.
A nice benefit that I discovered was the price of the Contour's test strips. They are about half the price of the OneTouch. Another nice feature is in the event you screw up and don't get enough blood the device will signal you and give you time to try again with the same strip. However, the device does have an audible signal when the strip sucks up enough blood so I don't know how you can screw that up. The storage bag is kind of cheese but I understand that when you register the device you can get a better one for free from the manufacturer (according to literature that cam with it).
I've only had it for about a week so I don't know how the durability is. Like everything else these days, it's an all plastic gadget so I wouldn't drop it to often. So far I am more than pleased with this purchase and the performance, and the lower cost of strips.
