With the Accu Chek Aviva system testing right the first time, about 97% of the time, will save you money by making every strip count.Less Retesting With The Accu Chek Aviva
Have to do less retest would make any glucose monitor better, so it’s no surprise the Aviva system has it down to a science. First the quick fill test strip enables the test spot to fill with a tiny 0.6 micro liter of blood which has resulted in ninety-seven percent of testers to successfully fill on the first try.
No matter how well you fill you test strip you still need an accurate testing system to make it al come together. This system has a one-hundred and ninety eight integrity checks that detect and help prevent unreliable results.

By minimizing side to side motion in the lancing device that has eleven customizable depth settings, you control how you’re lanced, making it as comfortable and least painful as possible.

Test reminders are one of the great special features this glucose monitor offers, especially if you are busy. You can pre-set four reminders per day that will beep at the appointed time every two minutes, as many as three times per reminder. If you’re on your game and already have the meter on at a pre-set time it will not beep or if you are ahead of the game it will not beep if you’ve performed a test within thirty minutes of a reminder.
Being able to track and chart your test results over time is really more of a necessity for optimizing your health than a special feature. But it is a special feature that the meter is compatible with all Accu Chek data management tools that includes the three-sixty diabetes management system.
Should Your Meter Checks Be Comparable To Lab Results?
Put simply, no they should not. This is because your meter is not measuring the same thing that labs are measuring, so there wouldn’t be any reason to expect that the result would be comparable. Labs test plasma and the meter test using whole blood, so it is not apples to apples.
Because of the differences in how labs test versus how meters test, even if both test were performed at the same time your meter results would be lower than a lab test. You won’t be throwing your doctor off because it’s what is expected and is being factored in.
