My all time Favorite Coffee!

test strips that are backed by accu-chek what more could you ask for!

Up to 50 % of each package of 50 strips fail to provide a reading.

They are easy to use and accurate.

Product is very expensive. Some months it's difficult to afford but I really like these test strips.

Convenience

I needed to buy additional strips because I wasted about 10 from my new prescription. It was hard to get enough blood, so they would fail and can't be re-used. I cranked the needle to 5 and squeezed my finger. They work fine. As far as I can tell, they are the same as the "prescription" ones. It's nice to have extras, so I can test whenever I FEEL hypoglycemic.

They are okay but I liked the larger size of the tabs that we put our blood sample onto in older Aviva Plus. All measurements have been an average of 12 pts higher in Guide than Plus and blood samples were all taken on the same drop of blood. The meter allows for more detailed records and that is a plus for most people. I have always used my own spreadsheet on my computer. I do not find the new dispenser for sample tabs to be any better. However, the guide tabs are less expensive than the older tabs for Aviva Plus

The test strips are about the most accurate when they work. I get a lot of errors. Sometimes most of the batch may be defective. E-3 is the most common. I plan on buying another tester soon as this one is over a year old. I have tried several and I feel this one is the best, without wearing a patch that is.

I usually need to drive to two stores which show it in-stock to actually get one. Unfortunately, Mom has the atrocious habit of only telling her grad student when she is out or down to one, so I need to drive from store-to-store, and end up missing sleep. I tried to subscribe through Amazon, but they require a prescription for something everyone else sells without.
