I have used the One Touch Mini Glucose Meter for 3 years. It is accurate and quite portable. I take it with me whenever I am out. The One Touch Mini Tester does not require very much blood, which is definitely a plus. It comes in a variety of colors. This was an upgrade product for me, as I have used One Touch products for 10 years or longer. My life without the One Touch Mini Meter would be very difficult. It takes less than 5 seconds to get a complete and accurate reading.
