Very light and it stores all my result data. It's also a bit flimsy and can be temperamental. I've had one that died on me after a few months but am now using a spare. It's very easy to dislodge the test strips when touching your pricked finger, which leads to an error message and means you have to start again.

Sadly disappointed with this meter. I've had to replace 3 times for the same issues. When inserting a strip the meter will switch off. Or meter will not even turn on. I need to be able to depend on my meter and have complete confidence it will perform. I find the menu difficult to navigate and to make use of it's features. The readings I find are higher when glucose is out of range compared to my other meter. The screen is good in daylight, but I am at a complete loss as to why meters are still produced without a backlight for night time testing. Gone back to using my Insulinx meter. It's bigger, but find the results much more consistent, plus has a backlight as I do a lot of night time testing. It has also never let me down in any way.

Great meter which is light, maybe not as compact as others however I am not bothered. Fantastic tailoring ability such as insulin management and recording as this helps professionals see what you are doing. This has helped me get my HbA1c down from 158 to 58! The only criticism I have is not be able to read it well in the dark. Other machines have some sort of backlight, where as the ego is dark and requires me to use an alternative light source. This is a pain when my partner is asleep and I have to test for what ever reason.

I love this meter, it's so easy to use, and logs my insulin doses. I've had a few different meters over the years but this optimum neo is definitely one of my favourites

I love it as I can check both my glucose levels and my ketone levels, for me with yoyo levels this is very important. I have had a few episodes of DKA, my meter has enabled me to go to hospital before it has a devastating effect on my health.
