I like the fact that it is so light, gives very accurate readings and its other helpful features. Sometimes I find it difficult to open the testing strip foil especially if im having a hypo and im a bit shaky; and all that packaging seems rather wasteful. Other than that it's a brilliant meter and im very happy with it.

This over-sensitive meter frequently produces errors resulting in wasted test strips. I've thrown away about 70 test strips in the time I've had the meter. I've had several other Abbott meters and never had this problem. The menu system is not at all intuitive, so when I want to do something only occasionally, I have to look up the instruction leaflet.

Pretty much the best meter I've had - simple to use, small and discrete

I much prefer the Optium Xceed meter. You can add some more blood onto the test strip if there isn't enough to enable the meter to record the result, which I think is excellent. You also have more time with the Optium Xceed after placing the test strip into the meter. Not impressed with the Neo at all.

The Meter I have is a FreeStyle Optium. I find it easy to set up and use. I use it once a week to take 3-4 readings during the day. The screen is clear and easy to read and I find this excellent tool.
