This meter is very easy to use, clear to see results and the computer software makes it clear to see patterns and results over a length of time. The reason it has 4 stars instead of 5 is that occasionally the readings are inaccurate, I think this is in the stages of low battery (sometimes before it realises the battery is low). So if you are mindful of this it can be a great reader.

I have found this product to be a let down. I have got two of these readers and both have the same troublesome issues. Both machines give to little time when getting a blood sample onto the test strip and when inserting the test strip you have to giggle it in the slot for it to register on both of the readers .One of the readers can take up to 5mins of wiggling the test strip before it registers. I found the freestlyle optium as a much more reliable reader. Just thankfully ive got an old one to fall back on.

Poor quality - The backing light goes wrong on it

The meter is lightweight and has a clear display. I'm not a great fan of bleeps on meters as sometimes you want a discreet test and the Optimum Neo is silent on the down side there is no light. The best feature of the Neo is the integration with the Freestyle software which allows you to create your own log books and a really handy summary report to discuss with your healthcare nurse or GP. I would recommend the Optimum Neo as the testing is consistent and easy to use and is good at producing trends.

I chose this meeting because it does both BG and Ketones. On the plus side it is compact and easy to download historical readings. On the negative side, the test strips come individually wrapped (over-packaged) and don't always register when inserted into the meter: they have to be wiggled around. I have had the meter for 6 months and already needed to replace the battery - this seems a short battery life but I do not know how old the original batteries were when I got the meter. It was not clear that the batteries were running low.
