Comments about Accu-Chek Compact Test Drums, 102 Tests, 6 drums:
I've used a number of testers and the Accu-Chek system is my favorite. I like the drums, they're easy to use and the strips stay fresh and un-contaminated. They're sealed in the drum until the moment you turn on the meter. No fishing them out of the package and spilling them like with many of the others. Unlike the other reviewer who was getting a lot of ERR messages, I've never had a bad strip so I have to think there is something wrong with his meter.
Comments about Accu-Chek Compact Test Drums, 102 Tests, 6 drums:
I have a couple of other blood meters that I've tried and none compare to this one. Test strips are so small and I'm klutzy by nature, so I wind up dropping them or spilling them out of the container. With these test drums, I don't have to worry about that. The drum is easy to handle and it just pops into the machine. Flip the button and out pops a new test strip ready to use.
Comments about Accu-Chek Compact Test Drums, 102 Tests, 6 drums:
I test my blood glucose daily with the Accu-Chek Compact Plus. The meter is quick, convenient and easy to use. The strip drums are simple to install, and then I am set for the next two weeks. As the meter's reviews state, it has superior accuracy.

Comments about Accu-Chek Compact Test Drums, 102 Tests, 6 drums:
Unit is accurate and very convenient, but at about $1/test, there are too many "ERR's" Excellent unit otherwise.Batteries are fine; test drums are fresh. Get 1-3 "ERR's" per drum.

Comments about Accu-Chek Compact Test Drums, 102 Tests, 6 drums:
As a newly diagnosed diabetic I looked very carefully at all of the options for meters and testing strips. I knew I wanted a testing system that would be easy to use and carry as I travel with work. The Accu-Check Compact Plus is great for me because the strips are packaged in 17 count drums. I don't have to worry about contaminating or spilling strips when trying to open those little film canister things or having to fish out just one strip. And even testing 4 times a day I have enough strips to get through the weekend on one drum.
