How do I set up my CONTOUR®NEXT GEN meter?

There are two ways you can set up your CONTOUR®NEXT GEN meter: 1) On the meter itself, or 2) By using the Contour™ Diabetes App. For instructions on initial setup from the meter itself, please refer to the User Guide that you received with your meter. To set up your meter from the app, please download the Contour™ Diabetes App. Once downloaded, open the app, and tap ‘Get Started’ to follow the instructions. This will set up the meter and app at the same time. For a step-by-step guide with visuals, please refer to our How-To Videos. If you need further assistance, our Customer Support team is readily available to help by phone, email, or chat function on our ascensiadiabetes.com website.

Does my CONTOUR®NEXT GEN meter have Bluetooth® connectivity?

Yes, every CONTOUR®NEXT GEN meter comes with Bluetooth® connectivity. When you start using your CONTOUR®NEXT GEN meter with the Contour™ Diabetes App, you will need to pair the two devices. The app and meter will then seamlessly connect and sync using Bluetooth® technology. The Bluetooth® setting on your mobile device and meter will need to be switched on for the pairing, and each time you test your blood glucose levels, so that the app can synchronize the reading. For more details on setting up Bluetooth®, please refer to the CONTOUR®NEXT GEN User Guide under the Resources section at the bottom of this page.

How do I use CONTOUR®NEXT Test Strips?

Using CONTOUR®NEXT Test Strips is simple. Follow these five simple steps:

  • Wash and dry your hands well before and after handling the test strips
  • Insert a CONTOUR®NEXT Test Strip into your meter's test strip port
  • Use our MICROLET®NEXT lancing device or an alternative to get a tiny drop of blood from your fingertip
  • Gently touch the test strip to the blood drop until the meter beeps
  • Your blood glucose result will display on the screen in just a few seconds

For more detailed instructions, please refer to the Insert under the Resources section at the bottom of this page or watch our easy-to-follow How-To Videos.

How accurate are CONTOUR®NEXT Test Strips?

CONTOUR®NEXT Test Strips are designed with advanced technology to provide highly accurate results in seconds when used with a CONTOUR®NEXT meter.1, 4, 6, 7 They meet or exceed industry standards, delivering readings that are within ±10% of lab measurements. This means you can trust the readings to manage your diabetes effectively. For more detailed information on accuracy and performance, please refer to the Insert under the Resources section at the bottom of this page.

How do I know if I need to apply more blood to my test strip?

The Second-Chance® Sampling feature will cause your meter to beep twice and display a flashing test strip icon. Within 60 seconds, apply more blood to the test strip so there is enough for the meter to measure your blood glucose. Once you have added enough blood, the meter will automatically take a reading as usual.

What is Second-Chance® Sampling?

Second-Chance® Sampling is another useful feature of the CONTOUR®NEXT GEN meter3 and CONTOUR®NEXT ONE meters.7 If your initial blood sample is insufficient to take a blood glucose reading, Second-Chance® sampling allows you to apply more blood to the same test strip instead of using a new one. This can help you:

  • Avoid having to prick your finger again.2
  • Waste fewer test strips (and lancets).2

Reviews

The Contour glucometer is very

"The Contour glucometer is very easy to use, with a simple setup and fast, accurate readings. Its companion app syncs automatically and helps track glucose levels with clear trends and insights. Together, they provide a convenient and effective way to manage diabetes daily."

— RAMIRO S. (5/5)

Acurr

"Out of all the glucometer systems I've tried, and Ive tried them all, the contour next system is the best. It's the most stable and the most accurate I've tried. It's good enough that I'm willing to pay out of pocket for the accuracy instead of what my insurance wants to cover in their new formulary for 2026."

— Joseph J. (5/5)

Peace of mind for new diagnosis

"I was newly diagnosed with gestational diabetes, and navigating meters and tracking and accuracy was very overwhelming. After doing research and landing on Contour Next meters, I feel confident I’m getting accurate results to best manage my new condition."

— Rayne (5/5)

.

"Being new to using a glucose meter it’s really easy to use and fast. I like how I can track my levels with the app. Device was easy to use. I like the unit"

— Matthew K. (5/5)

Can be used even if not diabetic

"I do not have diabetes nor am I prediabetic. However, I am very health conscious and want to know just how different activities affect my glucose levels. I have found your company's meter to be very useful in accomplishing this."

— Ernest R. (5/5)

Easy, economical

"Didn't get much help from my doctor's office after being put on Metformin and getting a script for glucometer but Contour site was easy and price was right. Hoping I don't have to use it for long."

— DEBRA C. (5/5)

Test strips

"I have been using these test strips for 3 yrs now and like them so much I started paying out of pocket when my insurance company no longer covered them"

— Judith F. (5/5)

Love the large volume box!

"I love the Contour Next glucose monitor and strips! When I first learned I needed to monitor my blood glucose I researched monitors and found the Contour Next to be the most accurate of all the manual monitors and the strips are the best for that monitor. I especially appreciate that they come 70 strips to a box."

— Laura G. (5/5)

Great deal!

"I bought these glucose strips at a great price, it was the best deal I saw online. The delivery was fast and I didn't have any issues with my purchase!"

— Amalia C. (5/5)

Easy to use (once you get used to how to stick yourself) Works well

"As a prediabetic who's trying to get a better look at what spikes my sugars and if they're riding high in the morning, this glucose monitor was easy to understand right away, easy to use, and the log that hooks directly to your phone is super helpful. Would recommend, just an easy way to start testing your sugar."

— Amanda S. (5/5)
