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 the benefit of No Coding^® technology?

No Coding^® technology eliminates the need for manual calibration or entering a code before testing. Each lot of test strips contain embedded calibration information in the strip pattern itself. When a test strip is inserted, the meter automatically reads this information and calibrates accordingly.

Reviews

Contour Strips GOOD / Medicare Coverage BAD

"Since I had the Eversense 365 sensor imbedded in my arm, I rely on the Contour Next strips to calibrate it weekly [at minimum] and whenever my glucose is rapidly rising or falling [and the meter mandates that I don't use my CGM for insulin gauging, but to instead, use my BGM]. Sadly, Medicare has disapproved the coverage of any BGM test strips when one has a CGM for monitoring. We need Contour to call Medicare and lobby for a change. I can wish . . ."

Contour Test Strips

"I have been using Ascensia Contour Next test strips for many years. I have found that they are easy to find and very accurate. If I have a number out range of what I think it should be, my immediate second test almost always gives me close to the same number. On the rare occasion it doesn't, it usually means I did not follow all the steps to take the reading correctly, and not the strip being defective. I have tried many brands, and used many apps. Some were free apps associated with the product and some paid for and not associated with any product. Realizing we all are looking for different information, for me the Ascensia Contour Next App has what I need. Instant, weekly, 14 day, monthly, 3-month average and daily history. The Ascensia Contour Next Gen meter syncs effortlessly with the Ascensia Contour Next App on my Apple cellphone."

— Paul L. (5/5)

Easy to use

"I love that only a tiny amount is needed to run the test and that you get a second chance without having to waste a strip. These are way better than my old test strips."

The Contour glucometer is very

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)
