Customer Reviews of OneTouch UltraSmart Blood Glucose Monitoring System

Customer Review: Versatile improvement on an already powerful meter
Summary: 4 Stars

The only reason I gave this meter four stars instead of a fifth is because of the case. It is a little firmer than the Ultra case (which I personally like), but for those trying to fit the case in a small jacket pocket it is a tad more difficult. Also (this is the primary reason I didn't add the fifth star) the test strip tube location is horrendous. The way that LifeScan builds the tubes, they have this ridge that juts out which makes it easier to open. For my Ultra case, I could fold the ridge down on the side. For the UltraSmart case, the loop is in a totally different position, which forces the ridge against either the meter or the finger-pricker. There didn't seem to be a "good" position to put the test strip tube in.

Overall, however, I still love the meter itself. It's quick and fast. After hours of flipping through options, the battery life still is running strong. Alsom, the backlight is a dream. It comes in handy in places like dark theaters where light is often absent.

One final contention I have with the meter is one of the options on the meter is "Help." When I was wondering how to change menu settings, I selected it, and a dialog box popped up telling me to access the manual or LifeScan's website. How useful of a help feature is that? Common sense would have said to either include a help system or don't even put the word in at all. Without the "Help" option, the primary text dialog wouldn't even need to scroll. Just a small critique from a UI (user interface) perspective.

Let me reiterate that this is still-- despite the test tube location on the case and the perplexing help feature-- the best meter on the market today.
