Tue May 25 21:30:36 UTC 2021

I was wondering if anyone has tried the app for this meter on an Android 
phone?

Following my signature I'm pasting a short tutorial I wrote on unboxing and 
setting up the Contour Next One meter. I wrote this a couple of months ago 
so some of the pricing info and what is included in the package from Amazon 
might have changed.

Unboxing and initial setup

I purchased this from Amazon for $6.89 at the following website:

<https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06W53ZLTK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1> 
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06W53ZLTK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Included in the box was:

1. Contour Next One meter with batteries already installed.
2. Case for the meter
3. Vial containing 10 Next test strips
4. Lancet device
5. Pack of 10 lancets

The Contour Next One must be paired to your iPhone using Bluetooth in order 
for the Contour Diabetes app to read your blood glucose scores with 
Voiceover. To pair the meter with the app, do the following:

1. Open the menu in the upper left of the Contour app.
2. Select the option to connect a device.
3. Two Contour devices will be shown on the screen and the Contour Next One 
will be the one on the left. Double tap it
4. Press and hold the Ok button on the meter until a blue light starts 
flashing where the test strip is inserted. The app on your iPhone should 
recognize the meter and prompt you to double tap the serial number to select 
it and execute the ok button to complete the pairing.
5. Insert a test strip into the meter and apply blood.
6. The app will announce your score.

Greg,

I have found the contour next one to be extremely consistent and accurate. I 
find when I first put a G6 in if the numbers are way off by calibrated once 
or even twice and then it stays pretty well calibrated. I do check once a 
day just to make sure. The app does take some sighted assistance to set up 
but once it’s up and running the app is very simple to use.
