A No-Coding Meter Out from FreeStyle

In April, the FDA approved the FreeStyle Lite meter, which requires no coding. It’s similar to the very small FreeStyle Flash, though apparently won’t be replacing it at this stage. Only Bayer meters had “no-coding” (or auto-calibration) before now. The Freestyle Lite is supposed to be simple and easy-to-use, two descriptors we love to hear for devices. Jane Seley, a member of our advisory board and a noted educator from New York Presbyterian Hospital in New York City, praised the meter for its “killer combination” of no-coding, smallest blood drop size, and an excellent backlight, which she thought really does make a difference in speed and convenience.
