Positive Comments:
"I only had to find and insert the test materials once every two or three days instead of several times per day."
"The Breeze 2 displayed the same high degree of accuracy that I found in the Breeze."
"Allows sampling from sites other than the finger tip, which are less sensitive. The small sample makes the measurement easier and potentially less painful - whether or not you use alternative sites."
"The Breeze 2 contains more flexible and sophisticated features that many diabetic persons will find useful."
Negative Comments:
"There is one other meter on the market that has substantially more capability (The One-Touch Ultra Smart). This meter can actually correlate and analyze glucose levels with respect to meals, medications, illness, exercise, and time. Nevertheless, most users will find the ability of the Breeze 2 adequate to meet their needs."
"The documents claim that results are available in five seconds. True, if you wait one second to start counting. But that is a very minor issue, and this speed is comparable to the best of the other good meters on the market.
