At mySugr®, we want to make sure you have all the right tools to avoid stress and confusion when it comes to your diabetes management. That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce the newest tool in your arsenal: The Accu-Chek Instant! A brand-new meter bringing you simple, clear information for confident decision making.1
What is Accu-Chek Instant?
The Accu-Chek Instant is a meter used to check your blood sugar levels at any time, with results in less than four seconds. The Accu-Chek Instant offers clarity in results so you can have confidence in your daily testing values.1
Make more informed therapy decisions with the help of the large, backlit, easy-to-read display, including a color-coded Target Range Indicator that gives you feedback at-a-glance, letting you know whether your number is high, low, or in range.²
How is Accu-Chek Instant different from my current meter?
The Accu-Chek Instant aims to make living with diabetes a little easier. Level-up your diabetes management with the help of these handy features:
- Time & date settings on the meter
- Memory retaining up to 720 glucose readings, including storage even during battery changes!
- 7, 14, 30, and 90-day averages automatically calculated and viewable from the meter display
- A Target Range Indicator that shows you whether you’re high, low, or in-range by using a simple three-color coded system:
o Blue results are above target range
o Green is within target range
o Red results fall below the target range
- A large backlit display to easily read BG results, messages, and any information stored in the memory
- Simple two-button navigation to power the meter on/off, adjust settings and scroll through results
- A Micro USB Port to easily transfer data from the meter to a computer and Bluetooth connectivity to give you even more freedom
- A guided strip port allowing for easy test strip insertion
- Test Strip Ejector allowing for simple disposal at the press of a button
- Child-safe battery door to protect the littlest loved-ones from accidents and extra secure battery door to help protect your device.
But wait, there’s more! New test strips!
Blood sugar testing just got a whole lot simpler thanks to the guided strip port. Touchable test strips have a protective coating for easier handling. The wide dosing area makes for smoother sample collection, and we’ll let you in on a little secret…the Accu-Chek Instant dosing area is larger than any other major brand of test strips!³ Simply place a drop anywhere on the easy-to-see yellow edge. The handy strip ejector button makes hygienic strip disposal a breeze! These super-duper test strips last up to 18 months after the production date (when stored correctly in a clean, dry container).
