The SidekickTesting System is there when you need it. In your backpack or briefcase, your sports bag or suitcase, or simply in your pocket. Its small size makes it convenient to take wherever you go. The SidekickTesting System is the ultimate in ease-of-use and convenience. There is no coding required. When you're out of test strips, or upon the expiration date, simply discard the unit. What's best, the all-in-one SidekickTesting System costs less than most meters and test strips sold separately. The SidekickTesting System is ideal as a primary system or as a convenient partner to any primary monitoring system. minimize

Sidekick, excellent value.

Strengths:

Simplest meter ever to use. Inexpensive, quick and reliable.

Weaknesses:

No date/time

Posted Jul 17, 2006 - Having been a Type 1 diabetic for 23 years I have seen just about every blood glucose meter out there and this one, in my opinion, is just about perfect. There is no coding, no batteries to replace/fail, the results appear in just a few seconds and it has a memory. The only thing I didn't like about this meter is that it has no date/time feature. On the other hand that means you don't have to set the clock :-). The price is unbeatable. A box of 50 strips for any other meter will cost at least $50 while this is 50 strips and the meter ready to go right out of the package for $31.99 (best price I've seen anywhere). Ideal for seniors as it has only one button and there's literally nothing to do prior to using it (i.e. coding, setting the date/time, installing batteries etc.).
