Why ACCURACY Matters.
Health decisions rely on accurate information. The closer your meter results are to lab accuracy, the more confident you can be in managing your diabetes today and in planning for tomorrow. That’s where the CONTOUR®NEXT GEN blood glucose meter can help improve your day to day decisions.
Accuracy And The Impact On Hyperglycemia
Hyperglycemia is having blood sugar above 11.0 mmol/L.2 Possible symptoms include fatigue, thirst and frequent urination (especially at night).
The glycemic index (GI) is a scale that ranks a carbohydrate-containing food or drink by how much it raises blood sugar levels after it is consumed.3 Foods with a high GI increase blood sugar higher and faster than foods with a low GI, causing hyperglycemia.
Having an accurate blood glucose meter can help you make more informed decisions with your healthcare provider and help understand how foods affect your blood glucose readings before and after meals.^,2
Accuracy And The Impact Of Exercise And Hypoglycemia
If you’re living with diabetes—especially type 2 — regular physical activity is one of the most important things you can do to lower your blood sugar. Increased physical activity can work just as effectively as some medications, with fewer side effects ^,4.
Having an accurate blood glucose meter can help you make more informed decisions with your health care provider and help understand how your blood glucose readings are affected before and after exercise^.
Health care professionals recommend 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous intensity aerobic exercise (biking, walking/jogging, dancing, etc.) each week and resistance exercises (free weights, resistance bands, weight machines, etc.) two to three times a week.4
Accuracy And The Impact Of Using A Continuous Glucose Monitor
Having an accurate blood glucose meter can help you make more informed decisions when using a Continuous Glucose Monitor (rtCGM / isCGM) when^:
- Rapidly changing blood glucose levels5
- Hypoglycemia5
- Bolus insulin calculations5,6
- Driving7
- When your symptoms don’t match how you feel5
- Sensors falling off or back-up5

+Minimum accuracy requirements of ISO15197: 2013 Section 6.3 standard require ≥95% of the measured values to fall within ±15 mg/dL (0.83 mmol/L) at glucose concentrations <100 mg/dL (5.55 mmol/L) or within ±15% ≥100 mg/dL (5.55 mmol/L) of the referenced method.
^Patient should consult with their health care provider prior to making changes to diet, exercise, or treatment regimen.
