Reviewers largely appreciated the Bayer Contour Next Ez Blood Glucose Monitoring Kit. They though this glucose test kit was accurate comparable to other brands in the sense that the meters gave consistent results. This is an important distinction to make because all test kits have some margin of error. Consistency in blood glucose test results gives the user a better understanding of what their data means. Because Bayer Contour Next Ez Blood Glucose Monitoring Kit has consistent scores regardless of its margin of error, reviewers felt they can trust this brand. Reviewers also thought the results were easy to read. With a back-light installed in the meter and larger text, reviewers had no questions on their blood glucose levels. With a 5-year warranty on the meter, users were overall were pleased and confident in their results.

The reviewers were mixed on the test strips however. While Bayer Countour's starter kit provides ten test strips, some noted they had difficulties getting results which meant they burned through their strips quickly. Some even reported that test strips were not included in their starter glucose test kit.

The silver lining to these issues is that the test strips appear to be cheap relative to their peer blood glucose testers. So even though you may use more than you intended, or didn't receive any to begin with, it is cheap and easy to stockpile the test strips.
