These strips are accurate. I checked it with the ones I have from the Pharmacy and the ones I just got from Amazon.. Only 4 pts difference which is nothing...The strips are also much less than the Pharmacy ones... I am very satisfied.

These r wonderful 👍..sooooo much easier than the other type it just sucks the blood right up and in 5 second a reading .no more trying to tilt your finger the right way to the strip to get the blood on.

Contour Next is a Very reliable glucose monitor and strips are also reliable in terms of whether the reading is correct--I've compared it to the blood tests I've had at the doctor's by using Contour Next just before going into the office for the blood test.
