AccuChek Aviva METER and Test strips

We have tried the Accu-Chek on several occasions. Unfortunately though, we found the meter difficult to use and expensive. The testing stip loading system is different from other meters. We found it hard to see the testing area with the Accu-chek we used. One feature we did like was that the strips came in little drums, so you just load the drum and strips are replaced for you automatically. You replace the drum after the strips that it holds have been used.
