Unlike most meters that need to be manually coded to ensure accurate results, Bayer’s new Contour TS blood glucose meter automatically sets to the correct code any time a Bayer test strip is inserted. Manual coding may lead to miscoding. In fact, a recent study found that approximately 16 per cent—or one out of six—persons failed to properly manually code their blood glucose meters to the lot of test strips being used.

Over 40% of glucometers that are miscoded offer very “off” results that provide inaccurate treatments and therapies. That is very scary. You don’t want to administer yourself too much insulin! And by the way, this new little glucometer also uses a very small blood sample size. I will keep you posted on when it will be offered to all.
