What is OneTouch Ultra?

OneTouch Ultra is a blood glucose monitoring system used by individuals with diabetes to check and manage their blood sugar levels. Monitoring blood sugar levels may be necessary to effectively manage diabetes and ensure that blood sugar levels are within the desired range. The system uses OneTouch Ultra test strips to provide readings. 

The device analyzes a tiny blood sample obtained using lancets on a lancing device. The blood is then applied to a test strip and read by the meter to provide a blood glucose value. OneTouch Ultra provides results within 5 seconds and shows before and after meal averages. 

What doses of OneTouch Ultra are available?

The OneTouch Ultra doesn't come in doses, as it is a monitoring tool. It requires specific OneTouch Ultra test strips. It is incompatible with OneTouch Verio Flex, OneTouch Verio Reflect, or other test strips.

What are the side effects of OneTouch Ultra?

Being a monitoring device, OneTouch Ultra doesn't have side effects like a prescription drug might. However:

• Users might experience:

  • Minor bruising or soreness at the lancing site

  • Temporary redness or swelling

Serious complications are rare but could include:

• Infections at the lancing site

• Consistently inaccurate readings if the device is malfunctioning

• Treat symptomatic high or low blood sugar according to your healthcare provider’s instructions

• Check the system with a control solution

• Check the test strip expiration date

• Check the device User Guide for instructions

If you choose to use generic test trips, make sure they list your device as compatible. Test strips should be replaced regularly and not used past their expiration date.
