Pros and Cons of Ascensia Breeze Glucose Monitor
Pros:
**Simple to use because you don't have to change the strips
everytime you want to test your blood sugar
**Simple to use lancet device.
**With a pull forward and push back method to release the
strip it is an easy way to release the strip.
**Only needs a tiny drop of blood.
Cons:
**If you want to do alternative testing, you have to call
Bayer and they will send you a special lancing device so you can
use alternative testing. You do have to pay like a $4.95 S&H
fee. Or they include a $25 coupon you can take to your pharmcacy
to get the special lancing device. And that's if the pharmacy has
it available.
** That means once you have your blood glucose machine, you
can't start testing on alternative sites until you have the
special lancing device.
**To open the machine at the top can be confusing initially
and a little difficult if you have arthritis. Though most
patients do get the hang of it after a few times.
**The pull and push back method to release the strip again may
have some arthritis patients having some difficulty but most
patients are able to do this in a few tries.
Overall, this is a great glucomenter. If it weren't that you
have to call Bayer to get the special lancing device, I would
rate this machine a 9. But because of this factor, again, like
the Accucheck Compact, this glucometer would be rated an 8.
Either machine, the Accucheck Compack and the Ascencia Breeze
both are high tech glucose meter that really do help the diabetes
perform simpler blood sugar results and feel both of these are
the best glucometers on the market now.
Here is the pdf for the instruction for the Ascensia Breeze.
By the way, Bayer makes the Ascensia Breeze. Definitely shocked
me when I started using this glucose machine on my patients.
