Abstract

Background: Accurate self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) is a key component of effective self-management of glycemic control.

Methods: The OneTouch Verio Reflect and OneTouch Ultra Plus Reflect BG monitoring systems were evaluated for accuracy in a clinical setting. Subjects also used the meters for a one-week trial period and reported their level of satisfaction with meter features.

Results: Both systems were accurate over a wide glucose range and met lay user and system accuracy BG standards described in ISO15197:2015. Subjects felt that the features of a meter with a dynamic color range indicator and personalized guidance, insight, and encouragement could provide significant benefits to them in the management of their diabetes.

Conclusions: Both meter systems were accurate over a wide glucose range and the features of the meter and messages were well received by patients in a short take-home trial.
