Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / December 2006Free Meter
Diana, posted info a couple of weeks ago on how to get a free One Touch Ultra 2. Mine came a few days ago. Complete kit, meter, lancet device, test solution, 10 strips and lances, plus a disk that I haven't investigated as of yet. I have compared results between my old trusty Advantage with the Ultra 2 and so far are the readings have been within 2 points (mg/dl)at all times. The Ultra 2 has several good points over the Advantage. Simple canned comments can be attached to each test, very small sample needed, some averaging functions and very fast results compared to my old meter. Think I'll keep it! Next vist with the Doc is in a little over two weeks so I hope to get a script for strips for the new meter and use it full time. RB Same here, arrived today. Looks very similar to the original Ultra and the readings are very close also. The U2 uses the same strips as the Ultra and Ultrasmart. RB has a good summation below. The case is nicer..... :))  SignaturePeter G. (bigbird) > Diana, posted info a couple of weeks ago on how to get a free One > Touch Ultra 2. Mine came a few days ago.

(It worked for me; my new meter arrived last week.) If that one doesn't get you a free meter, you could try this: http://dlife.com/dLife/do/ShowRegistration (be sure to check the box that says "Yes, I would like a free meter".) -- bittersweet > Diana, posted info a couple of weeks ago on how to get a free One > Touch Ultra 2.

I've never been able to readings that close. Even with the same meter, same finger, within seconds. > The Ultra 2 has several good points over the Advantage.

Even with > the same meter, same finger, within seconds. I now have three meters: an Ultra One Touch, the new freebie Ultra 2, and an Ascensia Contour, all within 3-5 points of one another most of the time, though the first several readings on the Ultra 2 were way higher, they now seem to be in line. I'm still double checking it though, to see if it's reliable. Susan > x-no-archive: yes > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Susan That's absolutely amazing to me. I'd certainly like to know what I'm doing wrong. I have three different meters and none of them are that consistent, even with themselves - using my blood or control solutions. > That's absolutely amazing to me.

I was kind of shocked to find that the Ultra One Touch and Ascensia were consistently within 3 points of one another, so much so that I kept doing each test on both machines for a while, just to make sure it wasn't a fluke. I'm not sure why the Ultra 2 gave me much higher readings a few times, and I'm not ready to trust it to be consistent, not til a lot more close tests. Susan > wasn't a fluke.

I just picked up the UltraSmart on sale and found the same problem. Sure hope it settles out because the darn thing started out with 2 readings taken within 10 seconds being over 40 points apart (and they were both higher than the PrecisionXtra I've been using). - Jewel If you get your strips at Walgreens they are $88 per hundred. If you are having medicare pay for them they like 200 strip quanties. > Diana, posted info a couple of weeks ago on how to get a free One > Touch Ultra 2. Mine came a few days ago.

If you are : having medicare pay for them they like 200 strip quanties. With a perscription from my endo Medicare covers me for 400 every three months without a whimper so far. Wendy I forgot to thank Diana for the info she posted. Thanks Diana!! RB > Diana, posted info a couple of weeks ago on how to get a free One > Touch Ultra 2. Mine came a few days ago.
