Harris Wed, 10 Mar 2010 12:12:25 +0000 http://www.neuropathytreatx.com/accu-chek-compact-plus-meter-kit/#comment-378 The meter stopped working after the 5th use. Had to call the manufacture and wait until they sent replacement batteries even though I explained that we already tried two sets of new batteries. After installing the batteries that ACCU-CHECK sent, the meter still did not work. They sent a replacement meter after I called to inform them the batteries did not solve the problem. I like the product. Hoping this one does not stop working as well. Rating: 3 / 5 The meter stopped working after the 5th use.

I love it. So much easier to use. My freestyle freedom kept giving me very inaccurate reading no matter what i did. The only thing i don't like is the case it came with. Not a big deal though.

So far no regrets - it's the same terrific meter I've grown accustomed to, just in some new packaging. Among the many features I like: - Painless lancet. . . notably better than most of the competitors thanks to the thinner lancets and the teflon coating - Highly accurate. . . agrees exactly with my doctor's unit and with the lab - Convenient and easy to use, one piece design - Large, legible display - Drum design holds supplies for 17 tests so there's less to carry around or fumble with - Good memory functions built-in - Long battery life. . . my last one was three years old and I never once needed to replace the batteries with daily testing Something not mentioned on the Amazon product description is the wonderful interface to the Accu-chek software package called SmartPix, which you can order from the manufacturer. This software talks to the meter using an IR (infrared) signal like your TV remote control, and it lets you create all sorts of useful data on your PC. The product generates all sorts of charts and graphs, which you can share with your doctor to give him a much more detailed view of how you've been doing. I'm a big believer in data collection on the PC, and I routinely monitor blood pressure, exercise (via my pedometer) and blood sugar levels this way. About the only complaint I have is that the supplies for this meter are somewhat hard to find locally, and when I can find them, they tend to be 2-3 times as expensive. I just order through Amazon way in advance and that seems to work for me. I also liked the older style case better, but luckily the meter fits in my old case. Recommended.

Parkes Wed, 10 Mar 2010 06:41:08 +0000 http://www.neuropathytreatx.com/accu-chek-compact-plus-meter-kit/#comment-375 I love this meter, the system is complete and nearly self contained. lancets have to be changed but you don't have to pull them out, simply push a button and it drops out. same for the test strip, turn it on and it pops out ready for action. my single complaint is that the test strips are hard to fill. they really let us down here. a great meter and lance device built around mediocre test strips. i love the idea of a self contained system, if they used better strips and made the lance drum filled instead of single use well, we'd all be customers. I don't really understand this, they make great test strips 'comfort curve', and the 'multi-clix lance', so why not use proven technology and the idea of an 'all in one' package????
