Manufacturer:
Technology:

The BREEZE 2 meter from Bayer Diabetes Care is particularly useful for people with diabetes who are leading an active lifestyle, or would like to live a more active lifestyle, whether they have type 1 diabetes or type 2 diabetes.

The BREEZE 2 meter is self-contained and may be carried in the pocket. The 10-test disc houses a series of test strips, meaning that there are less small, delicate adjustments to be made. The BREEZE 2 is also robust enough to be used on the move.

The BREEZE 2 has helped professional rugby players and snowboarders to take control of their diabetes, but it could be useful for any person with diabetes who is considering taking more exercise or travelling. For those that do lead an active lifestyle, their way of life may affect their blood glucose levels. The BREEZE 2 lets active people with diabetes test their blood glucose with a minimum of fuss.

Because of the 10 test disc, the BREEZE 2 blood glucose monitor won’t need reloading whilst you are half way up, or down, a mountain… or midway through a race for that matter. The BREEZE 2 is complete with Bayer’s No Coding™ technology, automatically coding each new set of disks.

Comment from Diabetes Expert
 
The Breeze 2 is one of the few meters around that use a pre-stored test strip system. Using a disc that contains 10 tests, it also features 'No Coding' technology.

Both of these specifications mean that there can be a little less kit to keep at hand (no coding chips or solutions, and no need to get out and put in a test strip for every test you do).

I love this meter. No coding. No pots of strips. No fiddly mucking about with the strips. It really is just 'test & go'. My testing has increased with this meter just because it's less hassle.

I have a problem also, along the same lines. Last year my sugar levels were fairly high between 21 & 25 I was prescribed Metformin but pleaded with the Doctor to give me a chance to get the numbers down, he said OK! I am also a pensioner with a very meager pension! I can't afford to buy test sticks. I got my numbers down to under 7. I am told that doctors don't give scripts for test sticks unless one is taking Metformin or using Insulin, my sugar levels shot up to 11.9 a few days ago because of a nasty bug I caught!

This is a great machine, very easy to use, no need to check coding of strips and 10 strips are contained within the meter. The only downside for me - I'm a pensioner and cannot afford to buy strips - my doctor now limits me to 100 a year - not really good enough seeing as I have to work out my diets etc.
