Hello everyone, does anyone know if the contour Next USB meter uses the same strips as the Contour next link USB meter that we are getting from minimed? I need three meters and they all have to use the same strips. I think I have arranged two of the next link's so I am looking for that third one. The contour Next USB meter looks like it might work, so long as the test strips are compatible.

thanks for any information.

Rick

I got my new case after registering,took a week. I also love that I do not have to use a log book. I have had no major issues with software. the bright screen is helpful for my low vision. Nancy

I had the same problem with readings, which incidentally made me head straight to the hospital because of incorrect numbers. Called Bater and told them my machine was broken. They sent me a new one, along with a new 50 strip canister. Thank goodness I have my old machine. To be honest I haven't even set up my new replacement contour because I feel pretty disappointed.

Has anyone had problems with their machine? Mine read me at 3mmol and then I retested a second later and was 20!!! So eat or take insulin? it was 3AM at the time. The next day similar thing, 15mmol but was 8. I'm an long time diabetic and I always test out the new machines against my old one I trust. This thing was WAY OFF. I am glad that I got it because if a mom of a newly diagnosed T1 got my crappy machine she would have killed her kid with these readings. The pharmacist was really upset and talked to the rep in person. Haven't heard anything from the company!! So upset considering everything.
Got a different machine from a different company- Done with Bayer. Sorry lost my business for life.

Can someone upload a picture of this sleeve people are talking about please.
Thanks, I am waiting for my $40 coupon before I get my meter.

I met with my endo last week and asked about switching to the Contour USB and he was willing to switch me over. I called my insurance and they need to speak to my doctor to see why I need to switch over before they agree to cover it......

Frustating!!!!!!!
Comment by Gregory Paranuik on April 11, 2011 at 12:36pm
I've been having issues with accuracy. It consistently reads 1 to 2 mmol/L (18 to 36 mg/dl) lower than my lab tests, when BG is around 5 to 6 mmol/L. I've tested at lab 3 times and all were the same.
It was really convenient and handy but I want better accuracy especially at lower BG levels.
