I got this meter to replace my accu-chek so I could carry it with me. However, I find the glucose readings to be about 20% higher than my Accu-chek which has been exactly the same as my lab readings. When I checked the enclosed literature they even state there could be a plus or minus 20% difference which is another way of saying that it’s not very accurate! That’s a HUGE difference when your medication and/or diet has to be adjusted according to your readings!!!!

This meter seemed ok for a long time, then one day it gave readings of 300+. My other two meters gave readings in the 80s. This is unacceptable and could have caused a serious insulin overdose. I will discard this meter immediately.

Easy to use and easy to read but as for all blood gluclose meters the strips are outrageous when you have to buy them out of pocket. I like to check my sugar more often duing the day therefore I run out of the set covered by insurance. Please someone start making generics soon. There are people not checking their blood as often as needed because of this.

This meter is compact and great to have when you are out of the house (at the fitness center, a restaurant, traveling light and so on.) It does its job, and is easy to use reasonably discreetly.
I view it as strictly a supplement to my main meter OneTouch Ultra 2 Blood Glucose Monitoring System because the only data recorded by the Mini is the blood glucose level and a date/time stamp. Yo cannot add notes to the data (as you can with the larger one) such as before/after meal, light or heavy exercise, and so on. However, if you make notes or remember, you can add that information to the software (OneTouch Software v2.3.2 CD with USB Cable, 1 ea) after you download the data from this meter.

Being diabetic for 32 years I have had my experiences with glucose meters. This little unit is very accurate and very portable. The case which holds the meter, test strips, lancet device plus it can hold a bottle of insulin, several shots and alcohol pads is 6″ X 3″. It fits easily in a pocket or purse. I hate carrying around a big case with me, so this meter set is perfect for me and my active lifestyle. I ordered three of them, one for home, one for work and one to keep in my purse. I always have a meter with me. They also come in different colors which is also a fun twist. This meter is worth the 20 bucks!
