I Own A New Ascensia Breeze 2 Glucometer- Any Comments?
I have a new glucometer… finally. My mom actually grabbed it from her doctors office for me. I won’t even go into the story of what happened to my old one! Painful at best.
It is the Ascensia Breeze 2 system. We will see how it goes. So far it is very easy to use and seems friendly. As friendly as a blood sugar measuring device can be, haha.
I have no idea what the cost of the supplies are but I will find out in the morning when I go to get the disc refills. It uses a 10-strip disc cartridge so it is no touch and convenient. The lancets that it came with look the same as my old ones but they felt so much better. I guess I can splurge and buy their name brand, especially if it stays pain free. No more sore fingertips!!!
I will keep you posted. My first reading was 126 at 7:30PM, that was unfortunately before dinner. I have to figure out why it was a bit up. Part of the ongoing process.

Good luck with your new meter. I’ve been using one for about 5 months now with no problems. I find getting discs from e-bay cheaper than the store (my insurance is poor to say the least). Overall I find the Breeze 2 is easier for me to use than the Contour.

I am not sure what is a good reading on the Ascensia Breeze. On my old meter if I had stayed below 100 that was okay but I don’t know what it should be on the Ascensia Breeze.
