what is the difference between freestyle lite glucose strips and freestyle lite strips ?

According to FreeStyle there is no difference. As Louis answered. You can ONLY use "lite" strips with the FreeStyle Lite Meter. The "Lite" is simply a part of the Brand name.

They are the same and both strips will work fine in both meters, despite what ohers say.

there is no difference. the key is "lite" strips will only work with "lite" meter.

I believe they are both the same, the word glucose is missing that's all. All diabetic strips test sugar (glucose)levels

I asked Roche customer care and this is what they said - The only difference between the Aviva Plus strips in the Blue box vs. the Aviva Plus strips in the Red box is the code key. The Red box of strips no longer come with a code key. All these strips will work with the Universal Black Code Key.

No, a blood glucose monitor has to use the matching strips. Using a monitor with a different brand of strips will result in an inaccurate reading or no reading at all.

You can buy a Relion Glucometer that has a lancet device very cheaply. The lancets for Relion are the cheapest I have found. They work with many meters also. I use mine with a Bayer Contour and Contour Next. I just switched to a new meter-Freestyle freedom lite. Because of my insurance. It uses less blood. The lancets from Relion work with this device as well.

The Freestyle "lite" will SHOW the "lite" clearly on the box -- if you have the "lite" meter, then you must be sure to purchase the "lite" test strips....I've bought these in the past from Amazon and recommend Amazon also.

Alpha trak 1 test strips are no longer manufactured, and the alpha2 test strips are compatible with the alpha trak 1 glucometer. When using the alpha trak 1 with the alphatrak 2 strips set your meter to 7 no matter what setting is shown on the strip bottle. If your pet is a cat this arrangement will work very well and give you accurate results. For dogs using the alpha trak 2 strips will produce a negative bias and will show a 9 to 10 percent lower reading on the meter than what the dog's actual glucose level really is. My vet recommends changing over to the alpha trak 2 meter if your pet is a dog. Hope this helps.

I am associated with an HMO. When measuring glucose strips are not me enough I buy from you. They are very good quality. Thanks a lot

I've had no problems with these strips both in the Bayer's Contour Blood Glucose Monitoring System Model number: 7151B and the Bayer 7393 Contour Usb Blood Glucose Monitoring System. They've both worked well with these strips. I'm not sure if they are the same as the 7080G. If you have concerns call 1 (800) 348-8100. They've been really great answering my questions.

We believe that the compatible test strips for omnipod systems are the Freestyle test strips and NOT the freestyle insulinx.

The ACCU-CHEK confort curve test strips are no longer being made. You will have to call the company and they will send you a new glucose testing machine.

I have used the FreeStyle lite meter since February. I have also used one made by Bayer and another made by Omron. I have found that the latter two ran 10 to 20 points higher than the FreeStyle lite. After talking with my doctor about the discrepancies, he said that the FreeStyle was more accurate and accuracy is highly important. I purchased a second one to keep in my purse since I never know when my sugar is going to take a nosedive. I also found that the test strips were less expensive - and the meter - on Amazon than anywhere else I have looked. The test strips generally run about $20 a box less than my pharmacy. If you order test strips online for the FreeStyle, the color of the box is different - white instead of yellow. My pharmacist said the white box is one the pharmaceutical company sells online, but it is the same as the yellow box. Hope this helps!

This glucometer usually has a few ( I think 10) glucose test strips. It does not come with keytone strips. The keytone test strips are rather expense, on the order of about $5 a strip.

Test strips are sold separately. Normally 50 per box. They are usually covered by all insurance plans. If you are a diabetic, consult your doctor for a prescription for the Prodigy no code or autocode glucose tester. Have him to give a prescription also for the strips. Normally, insurance plans will cover from 2-4 tests per day. More than this will require an over-ride. In many cases, who ever supplies the test strips will also provide a free tester. I purchased an extra one so I can have one for on-the-go.

My father is diabetic, and my mother tests him at least twice a day. Since I am not 100% positive, even though it says it can be used in any machine, I am double checking with the company. I would hate for you to get them and find out they don't work. Though in my Mother's experience with different glucose meters, some meters don't work right, regardless of the strips used, and some strips are a 'bad' batch from the beginning. Tomorrow I should have a response from the company.

The company has repackaged their strips over and over within a short time span. If you have a FreeStyle Lite meter, these will work.

I cannot speak for freestyle, but I did have a difference of approximately 15-20 difference with my accuchek strips

Strips work perfectly well for either, no need to purchase different strips. Hope that helps.
