Slim, compact design that's easy to slide into a pants or jacket pocket; it fits snugly in the palm of your hand and is very light. Large, easy-to-read numbers (in daylight). 500-test result memory with date and time. Accuracy! We like that Lifescan says this meter goes above and beyond the current accuracy standard 100% of the time, and in our use of this over the course of 10 days, we saw that to be a true statement. Uses a replaceable lithium coin battery instead of a recharging cable (although the company claims the battery will last up to one year, yet we found that our seemingly fully-charged review unit lasted only 10 days). Bluetooth-enabled so the meter connects automatically to the OneTouch Reveal mobile app, which is compatible with both iOS and Android devices. Small amount of blood (0.4 ul) needed for the OneTouch Verio test strips, which is a really tiny sample that can be applied to either the left or right side of the strip. Like other meters in this Verio family (the basic Verio, the Verio IQ, and the now-discontinued Verio Sync), it offers pattern recognition and will highlight trends found in your BG patterns.
