DESCRIPTION

FreeStyle Mini is a sleek, multi-featured meter that offers convenient and discreet testing for people with diabetes, especially for frequent testers and active individuals. As with all FreeStyle systems, FreeStyle Mini requires the world's smallest blood sample; 50 to 90 percent less than most existing blood glucose systems. FreeStyle Mini and all FreeStyle systems use coulometry -- a unique, patented electrochemical measurement technique -- to effectively measure all of the glucose in a blood sample, so only a sample of 0.3 microlitres is needed. Additionally, FreeStyle technology offers the most testing sites, enabling patients to obtain samples from testing areas less painful than fingers, such as forearms, upper arms, palms, thighs and calves.   FreeStyle Mini provides an average test time of seven seconds, and also contains features such as a backlit display, four customizable daily alarms, and a lighted test strip port for easy testing at night or in other low light conditions.    FreeStyle mini blood glucose monitoring system, the worlds smallest meter, will test blood from your upper arms, thighs, calves, and hands as well as your fingers. These areas contain less pain receptors than the fingers, and so you feel less pain.
