1. Lower Cost of Test Strips
The biggest thing that attracted me to this meter was the lower cost of testing supplies. 30% is good savings and I wish this would become a trend with all the meter manufacturers as a whole. Locally I pay around $60 for 100 strips as while you pay $87 per 100 for Compact Plus. In this respect, Home Diagnostics is way ahead of the curve.
2. Small blood sample needed
Testing strips just need one micro-litre of blood. The capillary action of the strip is quite visible and it easily soaks up the sample. In this way, it's way better than the other meters.
3. Fast results
The meter needs just 10 seconds for test results to show up and it also detects if insufficient blood has been applied. This is just half as fast as the Accu-Chek Aviva but it's still pretty speedy.
4. Small and lightweight
The compact form factor fits quite easily into your palm and hardly weighs anything. It comfortably fits into your pocket and it also comes with a handy carrying pouch that houses the meter, lancet device test log and other supplies.
Rating: 7.5/10
The TrueTrack glucose meter is pretty good for home blood sugar testing. The meter itself is quite average, and you shouldn't expect any extra niceties. It's just a simple, low cost test meter which is great if you need to save money and get the job done.
