One Touch Ultra Blue Mail Order Test Strips, 50 CT

Possibly Miscoded - Mary Jo Ray on Sep 11, 2009 I Like

I have used this brand for a couple of years and have purchased them both from the pharmacy (covered by Medicare, now) and from Amazon (from a different merchant). My first purchase from Amazon was entirely satisfactory and I am giving the test strips a three star rating because of a problem with the last strips I ordered. They must have been miscoded or damaged by the summer heat while in transit; they consistently gave readings (on the same meter at the same time) 10 to 20 or more points higher than the strips from the local pharmacy-and yes, I correctly coded the meter when I changed strips. Since I have type 2 diabetes, I went ahead and used them, with the understanding that the readings were high. This could cause a serious problem with someone with insulin, however. I hesitated to give these a lowered rating, but feel that this is an issue that purchasers should be aware of.

Great Test Strips - James Graham on Oct 26, 2009 I Like

I use the One Touch Ultra test strips in a research environment to diagnose diabetes in rats. We go through a huge amount of these strips over time and they have always performed excellently. We have a clinical assay for glucose measurement and the glucose values from the strips correlate quite nicely with the assay. Both the strips and glucometer are very easy to use and I would highly reccommend them to anyone.

Almost Expired, 1 Container Open - David W. Watson on Jun 12, 2011 I Like

Have bought One Touch strips from Amazon suppliers before and have been very satisfied, but this last purchase from Deep Discount Center arrived with one container open and contaminated. The rest of the containers were almost expired. They will be expired before I can use them. I won't purchase from this supplier again.

On The Fence - JP "sanndmann" on Jun 6, 2011 I Like

i purchased these strips one time before and was pleased with the results but the expiration dates were about a year away but this time when i purchased these strips i received a letter that stated the expiration date was about three months away and that was the reason i was getting a discount rate on this purchase. i knew this possibility existed from reading past reviews that is why i purchased such a limited quantity but the letter made it seem like i should expect nearly expired test strips in the future. with that being said my results seem to be about 20 point higher on this batch of strips so now im going to my local store to buy strips to make sure these strips are accurate. i leave it up to you guys to decide for yourself i saw reviews similiar to this when i purchased mine and decided to proceed. if my new strips bring the results im looking for i believe i will move on from these strips.

Price Fluctuates Constantly But Better Than Buying Local - Bill Hibbler "**Bill on Jan 19, 2011 I Like

According to LA Times columnist David Lazarus [...]the cost to manufacture these strips is about ten cents so even with the discounts here, they're way overpriced. Amazon is the cheapest supplier I've found but if you follow these over time the price seems to vary monthly by as much as ten dollars from the same supplier. In January 2011, the 50ct were 30.99, in Dec 24.68, and in Nov 34.99.

The strips themselves are no different from what you buy in a store. They seem to all be coded at 25. One thing about the One Touch Ultra strips are that if you do not get enough blood on the strip or if you get distracted and don't add blood before the meter turns off, you'll get an error and will have to use another strip. I've heard that with some strips, this isn't the case.

Was a little scarry when the instructions on the box were in Chineese. But it was ok with English inside.

Not As Pictured - PixelPixie on Mar 25, 2010 I Like

The picture of the box is One Touch Ultra Blue. I received One Touch Ultra strips. I recently spoke with a Lifescan Rep and they told me the "Blue" with the light background double check the results. I received all navy strips with one touch imprinted on them (old version). The expiration date is 5 months away. i'm sure they will work just fine, but would have liked a longer shelf life....and ones as pictured. The "Blue" all have a code of 25 now, and are good for 6 months once opened, not 3.

Ok But With Very Close Expiration Date - Mike "Mike" on Jan 16, 2010 I Like

I bought 100 strips 2009 Dec for my mom. First of all, my mom noticed that the readings from these strips are not as accurate as the ones (about 30 higher) she bought from a normal store. What sucks most, the expiration date is very close, 2010/05. So be aware when you purchase it.

About To Expire Stock - nmm on Sep 4, 2011 I Like

I bought the 50 count strips but the product expires within 3 months. Very disappointed. I only use it once a week and will have to throw away the unused ones. The strips bought from the stores usually have an expiry date of atleast one year. Do not buy this product.

O.K. But Short Expiration Date - M. Cesena on Aug 20, 2011 I Like

These strips work fine IF you can use them all prior to the expiration date. The most recent batch I purchased had less than two months prior to expiration. So don't order a large quantity. I just order two boxes at a time.

Great Value, Short Shelf Life. - chesque on Nov 17, 2010 I Like

Product was exactly as expected but the expiration date was only 5 months from the date I purchased it. I expected the strips to last at least a year from the date of purchase. So, if you use alot of strips this is a great deal, but if you just want to check your blood sugar occasionally this is not the product for you.

One Of The Best Deals Out There - BarbieQ on Nov 1, 2010 I Like

These test strips from AMAZON have got to be one of the best deals out there. The price seems to vary daily, so I keep checking until they're $24.00 or less. These are exactly the same strips that sell for $50.00 or more in local stores. My daughter uses at least 4 boxes a month so our savings are huge. The expiration dates are usually about 1 year away so she has plenty of time to use them up.

OneTouch Ultra Blue - TonyB on Aug 30, 2010 I Like

I was not sure about buying these test strips online cause one guy wrote that the expire date was about a month or two away from the date he received them but my strips were fine. I received them in a few days, the expire date is over a year away and I was very please with the whole process. I will be ordering them again as I need them and let's face it, the price is more than fair. Hell, if you can beat the Wal Mart price, you must be doing something right.

Excellent Value And A Life-saver - Susan C. Van Abs "fo on Dec 3, 2009 I Like

For people with diabetes, testing of blood sugars is necessary to gain control over this disease and prevent complications. The strips are typically expensive. People with type two diabetes tend to test at least 4 times per day, whereas those with type one can test anywhere from four to over to ten times per day. Some insurances cover the One Touch strips with a minimum co-pay. But many without insurance end up paying as much as $1.00 per strip.

The mail order strips are an excellent value. For the price of 25 strips with the retail packaging at Walmart, you end up with 50 mail order. The strips and containers are exactly the same. The only difference is the outer packaging.

The delivery from Amazon using Super-Saver was approximately a week.

Amazon has saved my life by offering these strips at an excellent value!

Fantastic Deal! - SeaFree on Nov 27, 2009 I Like

I compared these half-price One Touch Ultra Test Strips against the ones I get from CVS. The CVS strips showed "135". A minute later these strips showed "136" on the same meter.

One Touch Ultra Test Strips - anonymouse on Jul 30, 2009 I Like

I've been using this product consistently for at least a year, and used them sporadically prior to that. The only fault I find with them is occasionally the plastic film on the top side of the strip will catch at one corner on insertion. This could be operator error (who, moi?) or a glitch in the manufacturing product--who knows? It doesn't happen often, and the strip can still be used after a little readjustment.

The results seem to be reliable and consistent. When calibrated with a co-worker who uses the same product, the readings are very close. Until the FDA enforces more reliable performance for glucose monitors and test strips, I'll stick with One Touch Ultra.

Happy In Riverdale, Ga - Eleanor S. Williams on Jul 19, 2009 I Like

I have purchased the One Touch Ultra test strips twice from this website. The product was delivered timely. Also, this is the best price I have gotten for this product. I am currently unemployed with no insurance coverage, and I appreciate being able to get this product.

Excellent Service, Product, And Price From Deep Discount Center - Franklin Parker on Mar 14, 2009 I Like

The One-Touch Ultra diabetic testing strips are first quality, the price was the best ever, and the service prompt with quick e-mail confirmation of order and confirmation of shipping. Please consider placing your order with Deep Discount Center.

Not As Pictured - Wendy Levins "WendyW on Jun 29, 2010 I Like

I purchased these because the picture showed the new strips, with the double check. I had the chance to buy the older strips and a lower price, but ordered these because I wanted the new ones. I received the old ones. The shipping was fast and I am glad it was part of Amazon's free shipping. I just wish I had gotten what was advertised.

Best Deal Around!! - Carol S. Kimsey on Sep 20, 2009 I Like

I was a little hesitant to buy test strips online - concerned about quality and expiration date. But the price and quality of this product are great! The expiration dates are at least a year out and the product arrived in a timely manner. I will be ordering more strips as needed.

Great Price - Same As Retail Except Packaging - Lawrence J. Friedber on Sep 12, 2009 I Like

Best Price I have found and the strips are exactly the same as retail, except for the outside packaging. The strips come in the same convenient vials as retail also. Well worth it and quick shipping.

One Touch Ultra - Bijal Dowling on Jan 26, 2012 I Like

took forever to get to me. however was exactly what I needed and product was exactly what it showed in the picture

Very Pleased - From NJ on Dec 28, 2011 I Like

Delivery arrived ahead of time. Realize expiration dates on products like this are really critical, as some reviewers have commented. In fact, that input deterred me from buying extra. The 50 count will serve me well enough and has an expiration date of May 2012.

Just Fine! - M. J. Nichols on Dec 12, 2011 I Like

The price was excellent. The dates are out in the future so there was no problem with that. I received them within a few days of the order. Overall a good experience.

One touch ultra blue diabetic test strips, have used this product before and works as advertised with my meter. I would recommend this product.

Feel Cheated - S. Maram "Maram" on Dec 9, 2011 I Like

The strips had a use by date of just 2 months from the day i received it. Since i was sending it to my parents in India i didnt have a choice but keep it because i didnt have time.

Best Deal If You Want Quality - Amazon Shopper on Dec 7, 2011 I Like

This sells for about half what you'd pay at Walmart for the same item.
You can find it cheaper but with near expiration dates or evidence of tampering.

Wish It Was As Promised - PRG "PRG" on Dec 5, 2011 I Like

Paid extra $$ to get the one with expiry date of March 2013 but one i got was Dec 2012. Other than that no comments and problems.

Great Pricing! - Sharma on Nov 12, 2011 I Like

In these times budgeting is extremely important. The cost of test strips is outrageous because of the need for them consumers have no chose. This is an excellent price and makes me test as often as I need to because I can replace the strips more often. Thanks.

One Touch Ultra Blue 50 - S.A. in Oak Park, MI on Nov 2, 2011 I Like

I received my product in mint condition just as advertised. The expiration date was as advertised also. I am very happy to have found this product on Amazon in the same condition I would if I had found it in the store, except at a much lower price. Any time I can save money, these days, it's fantastic.

The One Touch Test Strip Review - maryfoote1 on Oct 19, 2011 I Like

I bought some One Touch Ultra test strips from Amazon.com and had a very good experience. Paying full price for these strips is very expensive which means I don't test my sugar every day to try to save money. I bought some strips from Brandon Bouldin on Amazon.com and I didn't read his details as well as I should have. I got 2 boxes and the use dates were too close. One was good and the other was not. I contacted Brandon and he couldn't have been nicer. He changed the one box right away and told me how to insure I don't do that again. They were a good bargain and he was great. I will definitely buy from him again.

One Touch Ultra Blue (diabetic Testing) - Fredels on Sep 26, 2011 I Like

It's was worth the effort to look for a deal on this item
(thru Amazon this time, about 60c/strip). It's a necessity and cost adds up quickly.
I had less error readings on these strips, than the strips
I paid full price (more than $1 a test strip).

Very Pleased! - doredeb on Jul 20, 2011 I Like

Was a bit skeptical about placing an order, but took a chance. Order arrived VERY quickly (placed on Sat. evening, arrived Wed. morning!). Item was as described, in factory-sealed box. Expiration date is 2/2012. Price is excellent - I paid $34.99 for a vial of only 25 strips locally at the drugstore - Amazon price was 33 bucks for a vial of 50! Will order again...hope my experience is as good next time around!

New Way To Purchase Test Strips - Deborah Kennedy on Jul 18, 2011 I Like

I ordered these strips less than 10 days ago and received them in a very speedy fashion. They are the same ones I paid twice as much for in the local CVS. I will be ordering these again and hopefully the rest of my supplies online.

One Touch Ultra Test Strips - Geza Sturm on May 4, 2011 I Like

Product is very reliable. Every box received to date, has always tested within specification. Owing to the nature of the testing, this does not preclude testing each new batch of strips with the testing solution. Although the writer has not found any anomolous strips to date, this does not mean that bad strips do not exist. Always err on the side of diligence.
