Bayer Diabetes Care introduces new Contour color meters

TARRYTOWN, N.Y. Bayer Diabetes Care on Tuesday announced the introduction of two new colors to its line of Contour color blood glucose meters — midnight blue and orange burst.

Bayer's Contour meters offer patients the flexibility to choose either “Basic” or “Advanced” levels of testing, to keep the management of their diabetes as simple or specific as they would like. The “Basic” setting provides a reading of blood glucose levels within five seconds, while the “Advanced” setting does the same, but also offers features that easily can be personalized, such as a high and low test result summary that can be set for personal target ranges; pre- and post-meal markers; selectable post-meal reminders; and 7-, 14- and 30-day averages.

The existing lineup of Countour color meters include pacific blue, royal purple and green apple.
