However, the design should always be lead by function, and the new generation of meters include groundbreaking new technology.

Contemporary

Bayer's Contour USB from Bayer looks exactly like a contemporary mobile phone or MP3 player, but it is actually a powerful glucose monitoring and management device. Small, portable and sexy covers the design, but what about the technology?

Instant connection to your PC or Mac

The most obvious feature of the Contour USB is the integrated USB, allowing an instant connection to your PC or Mac. This is a clear leap forward in meter technology because when you are testing every day, the easier connectivity allows instant access to management software.

Glucofacts DELUXE diabetes management software is housed within the meter using plug and play technology. Use of Glucofacts diabetes management software has been shown to lower HbA1c, because it gives patients the chance to quickly identify patterns and trends in their blood glucose results, and easily discuss this with healthcare professionals over phone, email or face to face.

The integrated USB has another handy function. It is linked to a rechargeable battery within the meter, meaning that you can charge the Contour USB whenever it is plugged into the computer. Of course, if you are near to electricity, you can also use the Contour USB wall charger which is provided free when you register the meter.

The ability to recharge the battery makes the Contour USB a more environmentally friendly blood glucose monitor. Bayer has also focused on the screen, recognising that people with diabetes test in all light conditions.

Clear, bright and in colour

A clear, bright colour display screen is visible in any light, and quickly identifies average, high and low blood glucose readings. The meter includes further test-related features, such as the ability to customise pre and post-meal marking. Furthermore, the Contour USB boasts 500MB of extra memory, designed to store diabetes information.

By archiving results using the software include, patients can quickly look at trends and averages and discuss with a healthcare professional.

Trusted Bayer Contour system

Contour USB meter has its origins in the trusted Bayer Contour system. The technology has been created with the intention of trying to simplify life with diabetes. With a 5-second test time and a very small sample size (0.6 microlitre), testing is made as simple and painless as possible. Furthermore, Contour USB uses Contour blood glucose test strips, which are widely available for other Contour blood glucose meters such as Bayer's Didget.
