Quick and easy prick


Pros
Compact, Data easily found, Easy to use strips, Small blood sample size

Cons Coding required, More expensive test strips.

One Touch Ultra Smart Diabetes Monitor — The One Touch Ultra Smart Diabetes Monitor is so much better than other diabetes monitors I have used. I have been a diabetic for fifteen years. Many times over the years a newly updated version of a meter for testing blood sugar levels comes along and it frankly it isn't much better than its old version. Not true with this model. You use a smaller blood sample to test and you don't have to wait as long for a reading. Plus, I really like the new smaller shape. It fits snuggly in your palm. Takes only moments to get a reuslt and can be tucked quickly and discreetly away. You can take a quick blood sugar reading without it interferring with the flow of whatever else is going on. With the older, bulkier models it took longer to draw enough of a blood sample. Often I had to prick my finger a couple of times to get enough, leaving my finger sore. I am also happy about the color of the case.
