From the Contour Next One website, the key features are; Wireless-enabled smart meter that links to a smart mobile device via Bluetooth connectivity.

It's often the little details that translate to the biggest benefits when it comes to taking care of your diabetes. That was top of mind for me after trying out the new Ascensia Contour Next ONE meter, the latest in the line of Contour meters from the company formerly known as Bayer. Approved by the FDA in November , this Contour Next ONE meter sports a next-generation design with subtle differences from its predecessors, and it's the first app-enabled meter Ascensia has brought our way in the Contour line.

I've loved the meter for its finger-sized portability, and now that I'm disconnected from an insulin pump and on Multiple Daily Dosing instead, I no longer need the linking capability.

The earlier generation Contour Next meter had a button on the top side of the meter to turn it on and off, plus three buttons on the meter face allowing you to select and scroll through meter menus.
Its aesthetics would suit any generation. It looks cool enough for teens, and small enough to slip into a pocket or handbag. The software is contained in the meter so no added cables are required. You can charge the meter from the computer or get a wall charger as an added extra from Bayer.
The software loads the programme Glucofacts Deluxe and that reads the data from your meter and can display it in various graphs or charts. You can print or save those files. Great to take with you to your clinic to review your levels with your doctor and great when you need evidence for a pump application.
