FreeStyle Lite test strips
The FreeStyle Lite meter is compatible with FreeStyle Lite blood glucose test strips with ZipWik Tabs. These blood sugar test strips are easy to use and require a small blood sample size. When the ZipWik Tab on FreeStyle Lite blood glucose test strips touches the blood drop, it breaks the blood surface and instantly wicks the blood into the strip.
This convenient software generates simple reports to help you and your healthcare professionals identify trends and patterns in your diabetes management.
