The Pros and Cons of the FreeStyle Glucometer:

Pros:

The FreeStyle Glucometer is the smallest glucometer so far I have seen. The carrying case that is supplied is also small. It is simple to use and you can test your blood sugar on either side of the strip. You only need a very small sample so if you are the type of person who only tends to have a small blood sample, this works great.

You can do alternative testing because the glucometer alternative testing site cap is included in the blood glucose monitoring kit.

Cons:

You still do have to place each strip in the glucometer. Though most glucometers do require you to place a strip in the glucometer, there are a couple of machines, like the Accu-Check Compact and the Ascensia Breeze, that have the strips inside the machine.

You do have to set the code # with each new bottle of strips. Again, a lot of glucometers do require this but not all of the new ones available require you to set a code.
