Simple to set up and easy-to-use, this exceptionally accurate meter seamlessly connects to the CONTOUR® Diabetes App to capture all your blood glucose (BG) readings in a simple and easy-to-view way that’s personalised to you.

You can either keep turning Bluetooth on and off to conserve battery life or leave it on all the time if you’re happy to charge your phone more often. In particular, I like the ability to add photos within the app — whether it’s my morning Greek yogurt with blueberries that rings in at roughly 16g carbs or a picture of the meter next to my Dexcom G6 CGM. Exposure to room humidity by leaving the bottle open or not storing the strips in their original bottle can damage your test strips.

So, you’ve picked up a lovely Contour ® Next One blood glucose meter and you’re ready to take your first step into the new age of smart diabetes management.Also, for further diagnosis, the CONTOUR® DIABETES app that is compatible with this device can be consulted. It presents you with all the features you’d expect in a diabetes logging app these days: logbook, averages, trend-tracking and meal information, photo uploading and data-sharing. The end of the meter will light up one of three colours as soon as your reading is ready; green, amber, or red. Any questions or concerns you have regarding diabetes or a medical condition should always be discussed with a qualified medical professional.

I also use a small lancing device and a thinner container for a small amount of test strips rather than the bulkier round vial of test strips.If your Contour ® Next One meter is connected to the Contour® Diabetes App, you’ll be prompted to choose a meal marker each time you complete a blood glucose reading. The CONTOUR ® NEXT ONE blood glucose meter delivers remarkably accurate blood glucose readings beyond industry standards. The meter is designed to give accurate blood testing results at temperatures between 41°F and 113°F. Experts in the diabetes field often describe a fingerstick meter’s blood sugar result as a snapshot of a moment in time, whereas a CGM offers a complete picture of one’s glucose trends.
