FreeStyle Flash Diabetes Blood Glucose Monitoring System
FreeStyle Flash Diabetes Blood Glucose Monitoring System DetailsManufacturer: AbbottBrand: Abbott Customer Reviews of FreeStyle Flash Diabetes Blood Glucose Monitoring SystemCustomer Review: Outstanding monitor - first time glucose meter user - love it!
I am not diabetic but wanted to monitor my glucose levels anyway periodically, having recently started exercise I don't normally do -- and also just to check the glucose levels once in awhile. I've always hated needles and being stuck, so it took me awhile to get up the nerve to use the lancet. To my amazing surprise, I hardly felt anything and it produces the tiniest amount of blood, about the size of a pinhead. There was no pain afterward. My first try was a failure because I didn't do something right, maybe not enough blood, so I set the lancet for a depth of 2 instead of 1 (lancing the side of my thumb where it didn't really hurt at all), and I was successful on the second try. It took me an hour to get up and running. I wasted about 3 test strips trying to figure out how to test with the control solution and then wasted the first strip with the blood testing. But with persistence and continuing to follow the instructions closely, I was successful on the 2nd try with a blood sample. I highly recommend this monitor if you have never used one before. Yes, it does take awhile to figure out, but the directions are very clear and easy to follow. You do have to take a little while to set the clock and date and enter the code of the box of test strips you are using, but after you do all this and do the sample test with the control solution, the blood test is easy and requires very little blood, and I was surprised there was virtually no pain. The lancet pierces the skin very quickly so you don't even realize it happened or hardly even feel anything, and you get just enough blood to put on the strip. The monitor then reads the blood glucose level fairly quickly and stores it in memory for future reference with time and date as well. Really nice meter! Very simple to use once learned.
