Small and Handy
The One Touch Ultra glucose meter is small enough to fit in your hand but it features a large display screen and digits that are easy to read. To keep the device simple, it only has two user buttons. The glucose meter comes with a soft carrying case to hold the meter and all the supplies you need for testing. The case has separate compartments for your supplies such as lancets and test strips.

Requires Coding
Every batch of test strips comes with a specific code that you must enter into the meter to get the correct reading. The code is printed on the test strips container. Coding is a very important step. If the code in the glucose meter is different from the code of the test strips, you will get the wrong results. Before taking a reading, you must check the code on the meter and make sure it is the same as the code on the test strips container. Follow the simple instructions to code the glucose meter correctly.
Multiple Testing Sites
Some glucose meters can take blood samples only from the fingers. The One Touch Ultra allows more testing sites. You can take samples from the fingers, forearm and thigh. One Touch Ultra glucose monitors now come with Ultra Soft Lancets for less painful testing.

The glucose monitoring system is fast, easy and accurate. You only need a very small amount of blood sample to do the test. Once the test strip receives enough sample, results can be displayed in only 5 seconds. You get accurate results that are shown in a large, easy to read display.
