It should be noted that these test strips use a newer technology (measuring glucose levels in blood plasma rather than in whole blood.) This results in an 11% higher reading than the original test strips. Read the instruction sheet and/or speak with your doctor about interpreting the numbers.

Fast service, good price from the Amazon Merchant.

2.) Strips Read 11% higher as it is for plasma although one is using whole blood.

I received the Accu-Check Active Test Strips by Roche. Good service. I had stopped my Accutane which can raise blood sugars and so I expected lower blood sugar reading. When my sugars were 100, I felt weak and sick on my stomach as though my sugar was lower than 100. I read the reviews and then the insert in the box and highlighted in yellow on the insert, they say, that the meter will read about 11% higher. The customer reviewers mentioned this and that is why I
looked at the insert and had an explanation for the discrepancies in my physical feelings and the meter results. I am very satisfied with this product which I use for weight control and to monitor sugars when on Accutane.

We have beene using this gadget since 2002. Its durable and has been working fine all this while. The instrument gives a very rough estimate and hence if you need a exact figure you may have to average out the values. Overall I have been recommending my family and friends this instrument.

5.) Not really accurate...

I gave three stars for the affordability of this product and it works fine after 2 years. But it will not give you an accurate blood glucose reading. A few times I did the kit and a hospital blood test on the same time, same day, and I always have to ADD 10 to AccuCheck's reading compared to my actual lab results. So that's what I always do now, plus 10.
