Ok, sure, when I wake up with a blood sugar of 43 mg/dl, I know that I'm...

Well hot dog. This handy little glucometer is expected to provide more accurate blood sugar results. And just what makes the Contour TS so special? Unlike most meters that need to be manually coded to ensure accurate results, Bayer’s new Contour TS blood glucose meter automatically sets to the correct code any time a Bayer test strip is inserted. Manual coding may lead to miscoding. In fact, a recent study found that approximately 16 per cent—or one out of six—persons failed to properly manually code their blood glucose meters to the lot of test strips being used. Over 40% of glucometers that are miscoded offer very “off” results that provide inaccurate treatments and therapies. T...

I was a little annoyed, a little sad and a lot confused. I had to switch my meter. My little Flash had been with me since my diagnosis. It kept me safe and secure while I was traveling through Europe. It vary rarely produced ERROR messages, and had a great system for testing in the dark. If you haven't used one before, it lights up at the end of the strip so you can see where the blood goes. Then, after it becomes saturated lights up on the screen. Brilliant, really. Back to the change. In the letter, my insurance company gives me two choices for a new meter. One was the One Touch Ultra, and the other was the One Touch Ultra Smart. They provided brochures for ...
