Just got this little guy to replace my old meter, and wow—what a steal for the price!

The 5-second results are just as fast as my pricier AccuChek, and side-by-side tests showed nearly identical readings (within 3 points!). As someone who pays out of pocket, the cheap strips are a lifesaver.

PROS: Tiny blood sample needed, comes with a handy pouch, and customer service sent me a free data cable. CONS: Lancets/strips aren’t included, and the manual’s font is *microscopic*. Novices might struggle, but for seasoned testers? 10/10.

PS: If you’re like me and obsess over accuracy, trust this as much as Contour Next. Shocked a $10 meter performs this well!
