TruePoint Blood Glucose Test Strips – 50 Count – Compatible with Ultra, Ultra2, UltraMini & UltraSmart Meters – Glucose Strips for Blood Testing for Home Use

Fast shipping. Works as good as One-Touch and much cheaper

These are Great Value, but Beware of the Following. I have had a very serious discrepancy on the fact that these are Not Completely Compatible with ALL OneTouch Blood Sugar Test Apparatus. In my case the OneTouch Ultra Mini, an older device, my readings were Very Off the mark, in fact, IF it was being used to monitor an Active Diabetic, the Insulin one would be administered, per test results.... would be quite over the correct dosage, And Very Dangerous. I noticed on the strips container, it mentions the Testing Device MUST BE ABLE TO BE CALIBRATED to Use These Strips, which this is not possible with, at least MY Ultra OneTouch Mini. So....My readings were almost 80-100 points OVER the Actual NORMAL Blood Sugar that I currently have for a Fasting Morning Read...!! No Exaggeration. So, Got me a New Reader..'OneTouch Ultra Plus Flex System', Very Inexpensive...BTW....THIS WITH The CORRECT OneTouch Ultra Plus Flex TEST STRIPS...AND My readings are NORMAL, after months of Grief, Dieting, and Stress... for a Fasting Morning Read. SO, I was just about to commit to an Endocrinologist to do the Deed, as my family has Diabetes throughout it's DNA> Thought it was My Time. BUT, now after one week, I am NORMAL Fasting Blood Sugar and Very Happy. But this is just really Out of Step. Make Sure your Test Strips coincide with your Testing Device, These are Very Specific Apparently. This is A Dangerous Accident waiting to HAPPEN...Just Very Dangerous Here...!!

This Contour Next Gen worked great. As expected. The ampules are good. The strips have good capillary action and take the blood well. It is a good buy! Other devices I purchased did not work as expected. Replacement strips were bad. It was nice to get a hold of Contour and have it take consistent good readings.

Very inexpensive and they work well

On the plus side, they are lower cost than OneTouch Ultra2 strips and require slightly less blood to make a valid reading. Make sure you remember to adjust the meter settings to match the control number on these strips. On the con side, the results seems to range from 0-15 pts. consistently lower when comparing against the actual OneTouch Ultra2 strips. That's seems to be within the range I do get from taking multiple readings with the original One Touch Ultra2 strips, so I'm not overly concerned since I am aware of it.

Excellent

Responsive seller. Good product

TL;DR: Skip this, these strips are completely inaccurate and not consistently so. In other words totally useless. I've been using a OneTouch Ultra 2 for several years. So when I first got these strips, I did daily reads with both a True Point strip and an original strip. I carefully changed the calibration code prior to changing the strip. I also checked online to make sure it was OK to change codes back and forth. Everything I found online says changing calibration code is not an issue but, more than, True Point doesn't say anything about this and my original strips were producing normal consistent results. Not a true control setup but good enough for the old eyeball. The True Point strips were always between 11 to 28 points lower than what the original strip was giving me. The worst part though is the True Point strip results were all over the place. If it was at least consistently, say always 20 points lower, then at least they would still be usable. Even testing True Point strip, then original strip, then True Point strip, then original strip back to back, with no unnecessary pause between, and on the same side of the same finger, my original strip was within 2-3 points of its prior result but the True Point strips were all over the place. I did this test on 3 days: first time the True Point strips were 12 points different, second time 7 points different, the third 4 points different. However, these are comparing the True Point strip to the original. I’m writing this review now because my personal nurse came by a few days ago to get my routine blood draw for testing. A few minutes prior to the blood draw, I tested with both the original strip and the True Point. My results were original strip 128 and True Point Strip 119. I got my FBS result from the blood draw yesterday and it was 133. I mean no one gets full marks here but the True Points strip was off by an unacceptable margin. As an aside, this was my last ditch attempt to keep this meter. When LifeScan introduced those ridiculously overpriced “Blue” strips I stockpiled the older strips, but now I am on the last 3 containers of the original strips. I bought these True Point strips to see if this meter was still viable and, clearly, they do not work. So I am done with LifeScan and will be buying a new meter shortly. LifeScan is on my blacklist for life. So is True Point, I can’t believe this kind of inaccurate product is allowed to be sold in a medical context in the US.
