I just recieved my contour USB and I must say I'm very impressed. For £25 its great value for money. In the box you get the tester, a tub of 25 contour strips, 25 microlet needles, a microlet 2 finger pricker and a material case for the tester.
The tester is slightly bigger than a usb stick with a full colour screen, three function buttons, a power button on the side and in a glossy black finish. The screen has full text and animation indicating blood sugar in clear bold text, time & date. Blood testing is very fast about 5-3 seconds I think, using the contour strips and their no coding technology. Following a test an option is given to explain when the test was taken, pre meal, post meal and also asks how the user is feeling, tired, ill etc.
Other features of tester includes a full log book which will show each reading and its related notes. Target blood glucose ranges can be set and then using the trends function it can be established how many blood tests are within the glucose range. Reminders can be set after each test for the user to test again in a number of mins/hrs.
Coming with a usb connection the device battery recharges when connected. It can also act as a memory stick to save data. The tester comes preinstalled with software on, so once connected to a pc software can be installed and blood glucose results can be analysed further used graphs and tables. Buy it!
