The Accu-Chek active blood glucose meter has been discontinued, but the strips and lancets for it are still available. Introduced in October 2001 to replace the Accu-Chek Glucotrend blood glucose meter. It is a complete change in the styling for the meter, looking now much more like a mobile phone. It is particularly aimed at the younger diabetic with its styling, size, and fast results. It reads in only 5 seconds, remembers your last 200 readings, and has an infrared download facility to your computer.
