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

Replaces 2004 version of this device. There are several significant operating changes due to HIV and COVID 19. Sample drawing is less painful due to pin prick vs lancet injury. The meter is vastly more competent in that it has vastly more options to personalize and store the test results. Bluetooth and smart device connectivity, and the app provide more useable information to me. The learning curve was moderate, and took two hours to master. The test results are consistent with my older device. It is very affordable. I am pre diabetic and am making lifestyle changes to avoid CKD and type 2 diabetes.

The Ascensia CONTOUR NEXT GEN Blood Glucose Monitor is a very reliable and easy-to-use device. Setup was straightforward, and the readings are quick and consistent, which gives me confidence in tracking my blood glucose levels daily. The display is clear and easy to read, and the overall design feels compact and portable, making it convenient for both home use and travel. The app connectivity (if used) also makes it simple to track and review results over time. Overall, this is a dependable and well-designed glucose monitoring system that delivers accurate results and peace of mind. Highly recommended for anyone needing consistent blood sugar tracking.

This glucose monitor was recommended to me by my vet for my diabetic cat to monitor his glucose at home, to avoid the frequent costly vet visits to check in office. I jumped into with no knowledge of diabetes or monitoring glucose. While there was a learning curve to getting enough blood on the test strips, due to my lack of experience and difficulty with my cat - this kit was very easy to use and straight forward. As someone with no experience, I was able to quickly get the hang of glucose testing. This kit came with everything I needed to get started at a very reasonable price. The lancing device is very easy to use and the instructions are very thorough. I was able to purchase generic brand lancets once I used all of the included lancets. This kit was a lifesaver and allowed us to manage and track my cat's glucose.

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!

In May 2024 my bloodwork had finally entered full-blown diabetes. Thanks to Mounjaro, massive weight loss, and a better diet, my testing is back in the normal range. Blood glucose testing was not ordered by my doctor, at my June checkup he asked if I ever do it. The wearable sensors are supposedly better, but expensive. So I checked product reviews from independent testing labs and decided to try the Ascensia CONTOUR NEXT GEN Blood Glucose Monitoring System. The testing kit had two separate sets of instructions for the lancet and the meter, which was intimidating at first. In reality, this testing kit is super easy to use. The meter activates when you insert a single-use test strip. A disposable lancet is inserted into a spring-loaded pen, and an almost unnoticeable finger prick produces a drop of blood. The test strip soaks up the drop of blood and the monitor processes almost instantly. Just like that. Super easy. The whole set fits into a small carrying case that comes with the starter kit, and would easily fit in a shaving kit, backpack, purse, or suitcase. I have no way to assess the accuracy, but independent testing agencies as well as users of multiple products report it being within a low percentage of deviation. Good enough for my use. Replacement test strips are not expensive, which is appreciated.

Works well. Tested it on my husband first. A little complicated at first compared to other ones.

I’ve been using this glucose monitor since March. It was easy to set up and has given readings consistent with my previous meter. The kit was affordable and included a good supply of testing materials. Replacement supplies have also been reasonably priced.

Just bought a second Contour Next for travel when I’m away from home for a long period of time. I bought Contour Next the first time in March. This is almost July and without issues with the battery or anything else. I love that I can buy the entire kit with all accessories included for a reasonable price. Though the test strips are a bit more expensive, there are economical prices offered to make them more affordable. Yes, I have tried several other glucose monitors and like Contour Next Gen best of all. Highly recommend!
