Care Touch Blood Glucose Test Strips for Diabetes

I'll cut and paste the same review I wrote for the glucometer I bought these to use with. But I'll add that I'm happy with the strips (and the plastic bottle they came in, which is large enough to hold my daily pills). Should be five stars. Four for ease of use because they are smaller and different than the ones I had before and I wasted the first one I used. That was my fault, I'm a guy, meaning a jerk who doesn't read the instruction book first. And four stars for value. These are about the best price I could find on Amazon but, you know, all glucometer test strips are overpriced. The Device is inexpensive, then the strips are costly and "that's how they get you". Here's the review for the device and other comments: The brand I previously bought was not available. I read reviews of several products and this seemed best. It is different than the one I had - the strip goes in the bottom end instead of the top (as you read the numbers). Because I don't drive/can't get rides to pharmacy I was hoping for a glucometer that came with 300 strips. This has 100 and I bought an additional 100 - that should hold me for a while. This is an attractive, efficient and useful tool for blood glucose monitoring purposes. The lancer is cool. I'd say in general it should be five stars across the board. I gave "ease of use" 4 stars for the brief learning curve - it is different than the other ones I've used in the past. And overall rating of 4 stars just because I wish it was available with 300 - or 365 - test strips. The price is reasonable - it if came with a years supply of test strips I'd just buy a new one every year. Yes, I could get a prescription for one and have Medicare pay for it, but that having to go to the store for test strips 12 times a year just doesn't work for me.

Buying an entire kit like this is cheaper than buying even a batch of test strips from the pharmacy WITH insurance, this is a serious bargain. I've compared my readings with this to my readings with a friend's much-more-expensive meter, and they're within a few points of each other. My readings from blood draws agree with this meter as well. The only weird reading I had, there was some contamination on my finger - I washed my hands (as you're supposed to do anyway), and my reading was right back where I expected it to be. Really, I can't find fault with this. It doesn't have every whiz-bang feature, but come on, this is about as inexpensive as they get, and it still works just fine. If all you need is a bare-bones glucometer, I can't think of any reason not to buy this one. Test strip kits and lancets for it are also nice and cheap.

This is what I use all the time and it's almost gone, when are you going to have more stock? Thank you

Expiring, but I still want to use my old glucose meter a bit longer so was so happy to find these! I have a newer, fancier model from my doctor but haven’t figured out how to use it yet!!! : ) Was happy to find a few more for just a bit longer until I can afford the other strips and supplies and figure out how to use those!!! These are so simple and my blood sugar levels are pretty good for now so these are great for the time being!!! Thanks so much!

This is a good product. Easy to use and accurate. Only takes a small amount of blood. I bought these two months ago and they were 15 cents a piece, now they are 29 cents a piece. If your looking for good quality these are fine. If you have limited income you might want to look elsewhere.

I've been ordering and using these strips, along with the Caretouch glucose meter, 4x daily for about 5 months while managing diabetes in pregnancy. The readings only take a small drop of blood, which is much less compared to the other meter I have (Contour Next). I also very rarely get errors on these strips. I find the numbers to be pretty accurate as well - sometimes I'll test on 2 machines to make sure. The cost is ideal, as my pharmacy charges me $60 for the Rx of the Contour Next strips in the same count, and these are $20. Highly recommend if you need to manage sugars and your insurance doesn't fully cover the testing supplies.

This is probably the best strips on the market. The best meter as well. Quick and easy to use. It's all too expensive and hard to find though. I just can't recommend them because of how hard they are to get and the price keeps going up.

This is the fourth times I purchased this test strip. Both of my husband and I use it daily to monitor the blood sugar level. This strip is easy to use and value for money compared to other brand. For accuracy, i think it works pretty well so far, since I keep using the same brand to monitor, i can say is accuracy enough for daily purpose. Buy the 100 strips box, it is cheaper.
