Can someone guide me please on what's the difference between Contour Next and Contour Plus glucometer. Do they both have the same accuracy? I am asking this because the cost of strips for Contour Next is almost double the Contour Plus. If results are the same then why this difference?
Thanks. Ok, so I am weighing my options to buy a Contour glucometer. Because Contour Plus strips are 50% cheaper than Next, i can go ahead and buy Plus monitor. Question is the accuracy of Next vs Plus is there any difference or its just technology?Hi @finsit
You need to take into account compatibility with the glucose meter you're using.
The Contour Next strips are compatible with any Countour meter with 'Next' in the product name. Contour Next ONE, Countour Next USB, Contour Next etc. (and the Contour XT)
The Contour Plus strips are compatible with Contour® Plus Blue and the Contour® Plus. The Contour Plus strips will not work with a Contour Next glucose meter - according to the manufacturer anyway.
All glucose monitors on sale in the UK conform to the same ISO 15197:2013 standard for accuracy as a minimum so I wouldnt worry too much about that.Thanks.
