I'm posting these numbers in case they might help anyone else, especially those who have borderline fasting numbers. I talked to my doctor and she said I should switch to the Contour and as long as my numbers were less than 95 with it I wouldn't need insulin. It could be a fluke with my One Touch testing strips, but I know there other negative reviews out there about the One Touch. I know glucose meters are not 100% accurate and can be within 20% of the actual number, but the Contour readings meant I didn't need nighttime insulin and the One Touch did. The versatility allows you to remove one side of the bar and turn it into. The next few days I did an experiment and tested my 1-hr post meal readings with each glucose meter and lo and behold my numbers were always lower with the Contour One. The EZ Curl Bar, with its durable grip, adds even more comfort and control. They were right in the middle of the Level 2 range. So I bought a Contour Next One off of Amazon, which came with a control solution so I could test the strips. Bayer Contour NEXT Control Solution Normal 1 vial 2.5ml is for use with Bayer Contour NEXT EZ Diabetes Meter system for quality control testing. Plus, the One Touch didn't come with a control solution so I couldn't test the strips. My fasting number was 83 when I had the 3-hour glucose tolerance test, but I kept getting numbers ranging from 95-105 with my One Touch, which would mean I would need overnight insulin. Anyway, my insurance covered the One Touch glucose meter and strips, but I always felt like my numbers, especially my fasting numbers were off. I'm a FTM and I was recently diagnosed with GD and really upset at first, but this forum helped me realize it is definitely not the end of the world. The CONTOUR®NEXT EZ meter can only be used with CONTOUR®NEXT Test Strips.
Hi all! First off, I just want to say how much this forum has helped me.
