Comment:
Small, light and easy to carry on the go. I test pre-meals and before bed, 4x so the alternate upper arm sites are a godsend for the fingertip method. I take it to the endocrinologist and she plugs it into her computer. I still keep a daily log, but it's so convenient to have that info handy, especially if you test away from home and catch up on the diary later. Did I mention I can feel with my fingers again? One note to Abbott labs: I'd like to see the test strips in a perforated tears-off type sheet(like those wire twist ties that come with plastic trash bags) rather than in those tiny bottles. My chubby fingers never get just one. Thanks

good precision
Small Sample Size
Cons
Strip Container Toosmall
Best Uses
Daily monitoring
Comment:
Fast, precise, with small sample size. Would like to see a way to indicate if sample was fasting, 2hr pp, or non-fasting. Also, the strip container is too small for large fingers to get a single strip out.
