I've been using the OneTouch Basic meter for years and when I went to get my new supply of strips the box said new strip, uses less blood. My question is where? Both the old and new look alike and I've had to use the same amount of blood as before. They both look the same, only the new strip is a different color. Is there really a difference?
Nora..... when your strips are close to running out, call the 800 # on the back of your meter and have LifeScan replace it with the Ultra meter...... that is IF your insurance covers the Ultra strips
5 second results and a MUCH smaller sample size is needed..... and you will get the new lancer too
