CONTOUR NEXT GEN Blood Glucose Monitor All in One Kit + 20 Strips

After my nightmare experience with the Freestyle Freedom Lite, I decided to switch to the Contour Next based on glowing online reviews—and I’m so glad I did. For under $20, this came as a complete kit with lancets and strips, ready to use out of the box. No hidden costs, no overpriced consumables. Just phenomenal value. The side-by-side comparison is day and night. I kept my old Freestyle meter to test them simultaneously, and the difference is staggering: · Speed: The Contour Next reads my blood almost instantly. No waiting, no anxious staring at a blank screen. · Blood volume: It needs just a tiny drop—barely anything. The Freestyle, on the other hand, demands a huge sample and often errors out. · Wasted strips: With the Freedom Lite, I frequently had to burn through 3 strips per test because the readings were either unrealistic or the device just took too long to process. With the Contour Next? First try, every single time. Accuracy I can actually trust. The readings are consistent, sensible, and match how I'm feeling—unlike the Freestyle, which always made me second-guess. After a few days of running both meters, I completely gave up on the Freedom Lite. Why waste time, blood, and expensive strips on a finicky device when the Contour Next gives me a fast, reliable result for a fraction of the cost? I am genuinely thrilled with this purchase. Highly recommend.

I recommend every family purchase one of these even if you don’t have diabetes. This unit is nicely made it. It’s very inexpensive and works very well. I unfortunately have been diagnosed with diabetes and now I am using this meter before and after meals every day it’s not letting me down it’s keeping track of my blood sugar and hopefully it will be one of the tools I use to get the diabetes under control so whether diabetes runs in your family or if you are possibly concerned about having diabetes, just keep this meter in your medical drawer and use it every other month or so it doesn’t hurt the prick is very quick and you don’t even feel it.

In my case I test only once per day. I eat only once per day at noon and I test just before I eat. I noticed, that the CBM do not work well at all. In my case they read on average 20 points too low. So I went back to the test strips. I bought this one, despite I already owned one to verify if there is something wrong with my old reader It was not. It is indeed the CBM which was wrong (I wore them for several month) Also the expiry date should not be taken to literally. I bought some expired test strips for half the price and they read virtually the same. Different test strips from different expiry dates on different meters measured all within +/-3 points (mg/dl) The test strip method is accurate enough so you get a "feeling" how you are doing.

I ordered this glucose monitor as I started TPN, which is nutrition delivered via an IV line. Doctor’s orders were test every six hours. I ordered this kit as it is an incredible value and it had incredible reviews. I see why the reviews were so high- it’s a solid monitor for the money and comes with everything you need to monitor your levels. The kit comes with two packs of test strips, lancets, lancing device, and the monitor itself. It also comes with a super convenient carrying case that holds everything for on the go! I will admit, the clarity of instructions could be improved. There is a lot of info to take in. There are several symbols etc that you need to memorize. Aside from that, this monitor is incredibly accurate. I haven’t had a single inaccurate reading. Test strips are affordable and offer a 60-second re-sampling window in the event you don’t get enough blood onto the test strip on the first go. The lancing device comes with the kit and it includes a small supply of lancets. The lancing device has 5 depth settings and is incredibly easy to use. The device works with most lancets available on Amazon. The device is incredibly easy to use and nearly painless. I set the depth at 4 personally. I find I’m able to get the proper amount of blood without having to restick another finger. Given I recently purchased this, I cannot speak to battery life. However, the device is incredibly easy to read and the device offers Bluetooth sync with the Contour app for iPhone. It keeps all your readings in sync for ease of access and to easily share with your care team. It also syncs with Apple Health. This kit is an incredible value for the money. The test strips are reliable and affordable. I’d strongly recommend this kit to those needing to monitor their levels with confidence and accuracy. My advice is to add more test strips and a box of lancets to your order as the kit includes a small supply of lancets. It’s always good to have plenty on hand in the event you need to frequently check levels. Incredible value for the money!

I’ve used a different popular brand of meter for years. Back in the day my doctor would give me boxes with new meters. The strips got so expensive. Recently I got a a box of bad strips that cost over $50. I needed something more reasonably priced. So I asked grok AI to pull information from the internet and recommend a brand. It came up with 2. This meter was one of them. It told me more than once that this one was more accurate than the brand I had. It certainly has more reasonably priced strips. I got this Contour meter quickly and I’ve tried it. The only negative about it are the tiny little dates and times at the top that are hard to read. I needed a code to put in to connect it to the app and I had to so much trouble seeing them that I had to have someone look at it and read them to me, but once it was connected to the app, the meter beeps and works quickly, showing a color near the strip port to show highs and lows. I downloaded the app to my smart phone and the meter reading show up immediately. It gives you a great overall feeling of where your blood sugars have been during the day. The reasonable price of the strips makes it possible to take your blood glucose readings more often I did this subscribe and save for the strips so that they are just delivered to me as I need them. So far, it has been a good experience and I’m not sorry that I changed brands after 15 years.

Really nice kit! Contains a monitor, 20 lancet’s, 20 glucose strips and a lancer. Price is very reasonable. I just use the lancet without the lancer. The kit has helped me watch my sugar level when I discovered my glucose was running high which is unusual for me. Age and family genetics as well as food choices can lead to diabetes so a monitor can track effects of food and exercise and if medical intervention is needed. Refills for lancers and strips are available and you can obtain batteries for the monitor on Amazon. Good product for diabetics or people keeping on eye on their glucose level to prevent the need for medical intervention.

I'm really new to this testing my blood sugar thing, so I'm a stickler for wanting accurate results. I have a Freestyle Lite monitor that I've been using for almost 6 months (Dr. prescribed) and have been very happy with that. I kept seeing that the Contour Next Gen was supposed to be the most accurate glucose reader out there. So I bought it. I use both in the morning to test...sometimes they are the same number or they may differ by 3 or 4 points. You results in 5 seconds, it's small, but the screen is a nice size so that it's easy to see. I don't think you'll go wrong with this product. It has a solid reputation, it's reliable, and the test strips are affordable.

I ordered this monitor having had a friend who has one and it worked well for her. What I received looked suspicious - a black pouch with the monitor and the other parts inside. I decided to go ahead and give it a try all the same. Pouring more blood than I ever did on a strip, it didnt work. At this point it was clear that not only this is not a new kit but that its defective. I returned it and ordered another one. The second one came, as it should have, in a box, with instructions (the previous one had none) and all the strips where there. It works well. Be advised as this seller apparently occasionally sends a used/refurbished one even when you order it new.
