Meter works well, but initial set-up is non-user friendly. Instructions don't match components, i.e., coding solution vs. coding strip. Very annoying that carry-pouch is not set up to hold the components of the kit, and also is poor quality (fraying already after 3 weeks light duty sitting on counter). On your website, various kits, specials and options are overlapping and confusing, and getting the best deal seems like a random proposition, with various special offers fluctuating w/o rhyme or reason. Other than that, meter works fine and test strips are more economical than competing brands. I give you 6+ points out of 10
