Very easy to use
This monitor is very easy to use. It comes with a lancet device included (Accu-Chek Softclix Lancet Device) and 10 lancets but no strips; therefore, in order to use it even once, you must buy the strips. I bought the Accu-Chek Active Blood Glucose Test Strips and they work. Given that 10 lancets last only ten times, you are better off buying lancets right away. Careful! You must buy the Accu-Chek Softclix Lancets (the Accu-Check SoftTouch Lancets will NOT work).
Once you have all your equipment, you do the following. Every time that you buy a new box of Strip, you must put the microchip in the monitoring kit.
The routine is very easy: load the lancet device; load the strip in the monitoring kit; use the lancet device to make a tiny prick in your finger, put the drop of blood on strip. Five seconds and you get the answer.

Great Monitor
I've been a diabetic for 33 years. This is the nicest monitor I've used yet. Very quick, very user friendly and Amazon has the best price out there. I did my research and found that Amazon was the least expensive and delivery was free with my $25.00 order of a few other supplies. Delivery was quick and it saved me running to the local Kmart (30 miles away) and paying almost $5.00 more. ... Read more

Versatile improvement on an already powerful meter
I upgraded to the the OneTouch UltraSmart meter after being an Ultra user for 1.5 years after getting diabetes.Being my third meter, I have to say-- without a doubt-- that it is the best I've used to date.The PDA functionality is utterly useful, especially for those who have been unable to commit to a paper logbook or who don't want to spend the money on the proprietary interface cable.

The only reason I gave this meter four stars instead of a fifth is because of the case.It is a little firmer than the Ultra case (which I personally like), but for those trying to fit the case in a small jacket pocket it is a tad more difficult.Also (this is the primary reason I didn't add the fifth star) the test strip tube location is horrendous.The way that LifeScan builds the tubes, they have this ridge that juts out which makes it easier to open.For my Ultra case, I could fold the ridge down on the side.For the UltraSmart case, the loop is in a totally different position, which forces the ridge against either the meter or the finger-pricker.There didn't seem to be a "good" position to put the test strip tube in.

Overall, however, I still love the meter itself.It's quick and fast.After hours of flipping through options, the battery life still is running strong.Alsom, the backlight is a dream.It comes in handy in places like dark theaters where light is often absent.

One final contention I have with the meter is one of the options on the meter is "Help."When I was wondering how to change menu settings, I selected it, and a dialog box popped up telling me to access the manual or LifeScan's website.How useful of a help feature is that?Common sense would have said to either include a help system or don't even put the word in at all.Without the "Help" option, the primary text dialog wouldn't even need to scroll.Just a small critique from a UI (user interface) perspective.

Let me reiterate that this is still-- despite the test tube location on the case and the perplexing help feature-- the best meter on the market today. ... Read more

STAY IN CONTROL...
The One Touch Ultra Control Solution is a needed item when using a blood meter.

The control solution is used each time a new test strip container is opened.Only a couple of drops are used each time when testing.The control solution will show if the new test strips will register within the control solutions test range.

Testing is done as if you were testing a drop of blood, but instead you are using a strip from the new container of test strips, and a drop of the control solution.The Ultra Control Solution is red and contains an amount of sugar.The blood meter will then show the solutions sugar count, which is then compared with the given range on the back of the new strip container.If the sugar number is within the range shown on the new container of strips, then a good reading will happen when you are testing your blood.

Check your blood meter to make sure you are using the correct test strips and control solution
for your meter. ... Read more

No Wasted Strips AND Tells Time
I've recently started using the Accu-Chek Compact meter. The previous reviewer states that you cannot "turn on" the meter without a test strip coming out. THIS IS NOT TRUE. I almost didn't get this meter because of that statement. Luckily, I checked it out.

If you want to check previous readings or use the meter "as a watch," just hit the Memory button. The meter turns on, showing the current time, date and previous blood sugar reading. No strip. If you want to test your blood sugar after checking time, etc., THEN hit the On button. All this information is in the instruction booklet and the Quick Reference guide. You can't help but learn this unless you never looked at even the Quick guide.

As for how I like it? I love it. It holds 17 strips and I take it everywhere. It's great to be in a restaurant and not have to fumble with a container or, worse, foil wrap. The strips eject (usually) with the press of a button. It also takes "normal" batteries (two AAAs).The viewing screen is large (1 1/2" x 1 1/2") and displays results in large numerals, which is good for anyone with eyesight issues. The test strip barrels are small--about 1" by 3/4" in diameter--and there's only one simple way to load them, so no worries there. The meter stores 100 previous results and has a feature that allows you to average or "trend" the previous 7 days' readings. It may also download results onto a computer with software and cable (not included).

The only reason I gave it 4 stars is that I find it a little bulkier than my other meters. It's about 4 1/2"L x 2"W x 1"H. I would also like to see it store more than 100 readings. Also, sometimes the strips do not eject and I pull them out--not a true problem for most, but I wanted to note it. And I'm not crazy about the lancet device and lancets that Accu-Check sends with its meters. I find the flat lancets difficult to uncap, load and to work with in general.I'm liking BD's "fat" lancet device and cylinder-shaped lancets a lot. They've made the lancing much softer than previous generations.

Overall? Thumbs up for the Accu-Check Compact.

need a watch
My husband uses his glucometer as a watch as well, and when you turn this meter on, it automatically shoots out a test strip, so it can't be used for anything other than testing blood sugar.So, he saves it for when fumbling with a cannister of test strips is especially inconvenient, i.e. snow sports with gloves on.It's a really great feature, not having to fumble with extra little things, and it turns out the results quickly, but alas, he doesn't usually use it for above reasons.We got it free at one of the chain drug stores offering the coupon with purchase of test strips. ...

Inaccurate - and that's really bad
One Touch Ultra is supposed to be the great solution to the problem of sore fingers.You can draw blood from the forearm, thus saving your fingers.B.B. King even tells us so, and his profession is professional musician and guitarist.

Fine.

None of this matters, though, if the unit isn't accurate in its results.One Touch Ultra is not accurate.

Here is what I mean.You can draw three different samples within a minute of each other from the same finger or forearm stick and get three different results that vary by more than 10%.This should not happen.Blood sugar doesn't change that much that quickly.And if you are taking insulin on a sliding scale, basing the amount you inject on your glucometer's result, a 10% variation in insulin can have serious consequences.

I'm giving up on OneTouch and going back to Bayer.It's results were right in line with my A1c tests.One Touch is not.

It would be a good product if only it worked.

WORKS LIKE A CHARM!
Who knew I would be in the market for a Blood Meter?It never crossed my mind that I would soon have my own One Touch Ultra.But, Oh My... things in our life do change.

I first had seen a television advertisement of the One Touch Ultra.I noticed this new gadget was good looking, a nice size, and appeared to work so easily.At first I did not know what it was used for but, then realized it was for checking sugar levels in the blood, in both the finger area or on the arm. What a nice option for doing something which I thought was painful.

Because of that commercial, only weeks later I was asked to choose what blood testing meter I would like.I remembered how easy it was to use and how informative the company was in explaining what I saw.Since then I have found friends who "Love" their One Touch Ultra meter.I have to say I agree.

The meter comes in a small material zipper case.This case holds the meter and the bottle of test strips on the left side.The right side has a zippered mesh pouch, which holds the testing solution, and extra lancets.On the back of the case it has a Velcroed pocket.I use the pocket for used strips and lancets until I can dispose of them properly.There also is a card to carry in the case, with quick instructions on how to use the meter, or if error messages should appear.

One Touch Ultra provides a 24 hours a day for 7 days a week, a 800 phone number for help.This service is provided to always be there to help you.I have used this free service when I thought I had done something wrong.The operator was so patient and walked me through my confusion until I was completely confident in what I was doing.

Oh, as to the pain,there really isn't any!When using the lancet you have 9 settings of how hard you want the lancet to prick your finger.I get excellent results on the lightest setting, and most times it is compared to touching a sand sticker.And best of all the results are given in 5 seconds.

I have not tried using the location of my arm.I have heard that possibly the arm area is not a good blood count indicator.It is so quick and easy to use my One Touch Ultra on my finger tips that I do not even think of moving to an arm, but it is nice to know that I do have that option.

I really wish I never had to have a blood meter, but I sure am glad I choose One Touch Ultra.Managing my sugar is something I now..want..to do, because using this new tool is so easy to use.Thank Heaven for new technology!
