Contour Next One Smart Metre, Monitoring System

I bought the metre for tracking via the app. I tried to get it to work on both iOS and Android: USELESS. It is impossible to create an account or use an existing account I created separately. Never saw such a bad app that cannot even manage the basics of connectivity.

This machine is so good. So compact yet the colour code is excellent to see at a glance to what the reading is. Pairing it with you phone app is icing on the cake as the phone logs all the data. I bought a blood pressure machine, sugar test and scales that all seamlessly talk to my phone. No worries.This was an excellent buy from Amazon.

We purchased two, we tested it same time as first, they showed different readings.

So, I love this little device! Needed to check in with my blood sugar (on a keto diet now, working wonders for my health!) and chose this because it seemed most convenient, plus pairs with my phone and keeps records stored.Like others, I at first had difficulties keeping it connected to my phone (HTC10) until I discovered a simple trick. I open the app, turn on the meter device, put it next to my phone (where it is stored as a paired device), turn my Bluetooth phone setting off, then back on, hit "Scan" on my phone, and then go back to the app, and it connects every time, no issues. It won't just connect, after having been turned off, and left for a day or so, but I was freaking out and re-pairing it from scratch each time, and then discovered all I had to do was cycle my BT off and on, as described above, and, presto, it instantly is recognized.Love that you can specify what meal you had, fasting versus before meal versus after meal, etc., and all the data is so easily stored and graphed, and of course it indicates if you're within you're targeted range as well. Love the small footprint, wonderful carrying case that holds everything, and ease of use is great.Requires very little blood on the strip and I've never had a failed or problem reading.I did not like the lancing device in the kit -- found it quite painful -- so I ordered the Softclix, from Accu-Chek, and it's virtually painless, no issues with the required poke, at all. And, it fits right in the carry case that came with this meter, so I just swapped it out with the other one.Kind of ridiculous that our medical system is such that we have to be our own doctors, but devices like this make self care possible. And, thanks to the keto diet, my blood sugar is well in check and improving, along with weight and BP and general health.This tool is a great asset for my self care!Highly recommend!

I have tried a couple of entry-level glucose monitors before this purchase — as a first-time user, new to the whole monitoring-own-glucose routine, they all seemed acceptably functional & easy to use... but now that I'm no longer a "newbie" to this rodeo, I can indeed make the assessment that NOT all monitors & their respective glucose strips are made equal!● The Contour Next Monitor is a delight to use! First of all, it comes with a bluetooth capability to load all your readings onto a well-designed tracking app — makes reviewing & tracking your cumulative glucose data a breeze & thus makes for really easy discernment of one's glucose glucose regulation patterns 👍👍👍!● Secondly, the Contour Next test strips are almost "idiot proof" — the "capillary action" is so easily activated! (zero need for endlessly fumbling around, trying to get the strip tip angled & pressed just right into the "sweet spot" of your blood-drop in order to trigger an adequate enough sample getting drawn up into the reaction zone 🙄🙄🙄... yup, finally made me realize the many wasted test strips & unnecessary repeat finger pricks I had to go through were not due to an issue of user ability, but rather due to the poor testing-strip design of other brands!) And unlike other brands, these strips seem to produce consistent, reliable readings — they do not produce wildly fluctuating values (i.e. of multiple, immediately consecutive samplings)... so sure, Contour Next brand strips may not be the cheapest ones availableon the market, but hey, their reliability & good design more than offset the price difference for me!● And lastly, a purchase price of under 10-USD to get started with the system (i.e. the monitor, a lancing device, 10 test strips/10 lancets, and even a carry case)...???! — at that price, it's really worth the opportunity to test-drive the Contour Next system yourself. I'm so pleased I did!
