This particular meter has an easy to read display screen, ergonomic design for easy handling, 5-second test results, ability to reapply the blood sample within one minute of previous testing and programmable alarms. In addition, this glucose meter allows for alternate testing sites which enable the individual to use sites other than their finger for constant testing. The FreeStyle Freedom stores up to 250 prior test results and has an automatic shut off component which will aid in saving battery life should one forget to shut down their glucose meter after testing.

The inexpensive price tag is another reason to buy this model as you really get a lot for your money. For those who may need a bit more functions and greater memory capacity, there are other models available on the consumer market which might be more suitable. With that said, the FreeStyle Freedom is certainly not lacking in many areas.
