OneTouch UltraSmart Blood Glucose Monitoring System is the new version of the OneTouch Ultra Blood Glucose Monitoring System upgraded with some improvements, both are OneTouch products.

After over a year of using the Ultra One Touch glucose meter, I decided to upgrade to the UltraSmart one. That’s why I keep comparing both since I got used to the old one and was really satisfied with it.

There’s no doubt the UltraSmart glucose meter is the best meter I ever had. I can spend hours flipping through the menu and the battery still is running strong. A part from being fast and easy to use, this glucose meter is like a little health diary. It gives me track of insulin, carbohydrates,fats , proteins…. This meter is really an all in one system. I could even call it an ‘electronic nurse’, it tells me about my weight, height, blood pressure and cholesterol. OneTouch UltraSmart Blood Glucose Monitoring System helps me being much more attentive to my health and needs and it even reminds me of my doctor visit time!

Despite the fact that I like this glucose meter a lot, there are two details that I didn’t really appreciate. First one is the help section in the menu, it just says to visit the website for any help. It would have been better if OneTouch didn’t include that section in the menu. Especially with the great and free phone assistance they provide 24/7.

Second thing is the case. It’s a little firmer then the Ultra one which makes the test strip tube location a bit horrendous. Also the positions of the ridge and the loop are completely different from the previous in the Ultra case. I guess I like more the old one just because I got used to it for over then a year.

Regardless of those two little details, I just love this meter. I don’t really like committing into a logbook neither spending money on a proprietary interface cable. Thanks to the great PDA functionality, I don’t need a logbook or a cable.

The menu offers lots of features like trends and other factors affecting diabetes. I like it so much that I can’t stop flipping through the menu! This meter is perfect for insulin dependent people because it automatically collects and organizes results into useful charts.

The thing I really like about this meter is the backlight, I can easily use it in places where light is usually absent like theaters.

OneTouch UltraSmart Blood Glucose Monitoring System comes with a new computer program for people with diabetes , it also provides printable reports you can share with your doctor.
