2023年10月2日 · Apparently there has been a bad run of strips that Walmart is selling. I went to Amazon and ordered what is recommended as the most accurate home meter available. I got the Bayer contour Next. We sat down and started doing readings of the Relion VS Bayer. The results were extremely consistent. The relion was showing 20 points higher than the Bayer.

2018年9月5日 · A few years ago, my health insurance changed, and I learned that the new plan covered only a limited amount of test strips per day. Thankfully, I already knew about the Walmart brand ReliOn, which produces an array of affordable health care products, including blood glucose meters and testing strips. For the last several years, if I ever needed extra test strips, I …

2009年11月4日 · I bought WalMart's ReliOn Ultima BG monitor since their strips are among the cheapest. (I have a prescription for Freestyle Lite, but can't get enough strips to test as much as I want.) They're both manufactured by Abbott Labs, but ReliOn's lancet device is big and unwieldy.

2018年9月15日 · All "Relion" meters/strips are not created equal. Relion Prime, the least expensive variety, routinely come in towards the bottom of the comparisons, while still generally meeting the FDA specs. However, Relion Confirm/Micro meters and strips, while more expensive, are still quite affordable, and seem to rank right up with the leading brands at ...

2018年7月26日 · I have recently switched to the Relion Prime meter after using the Contour Next Ez for 2 and 1/2 years. I was very pleased with the Next meter when I could rely on the quality of the strips that I bought on Amazon, but that is no longer the case. I haven't yet compared the Relion to a lab draw for accuracy, but I think it is okay.

2015年5月28日 · I have Medicare (including Part B, which covers test strips). I get Relion Ultima strips from Walmart. For a while I was getting the "normal" Medicare allotment of 3 strips a day for people on insulin and buying more myself. This year, I asked my doctor to write a prescription for seven strips a day (I use that many and sometimes more).

2021年12月6日 · But the only 6-hr test I recently did with the BLU prompted me to do some short test comparisons on a very low glycemic load on a postprandial basis because I had to double test at a number of test points during the GTT, using …

2011年7月25日 · I use the Relion Prime, which is manufactured by Arkray. Test strips are 9 dollars for a box of 50. I do not test a ton, so this is a really good setup for me. However, the Prime does average 10-20 points higher than my Onetouch, and I sometimes do need to test twice as it is not as tight as my other meter.

2007年10月4日 · I get the Relion strips in 50s and they are loose in the little container not individually wrapped. When I first switched to the Relion Micro I tested for a few days with both my old and new meters (old one was a Freestyle) since I had some old strips left, and they ran within a few points of each other.

2014年1月9日 · This has only happened in the last two months (December, January), so I haven't had a lab test to test it against. The Relion Prime was okay before when I tested it. I've done a Relion A1c self-test that is in the mail to the lab. Those tests usually match the doctor's office, so if that comes back low, I think the meter or strips are the problem.
