Contour Plus Blue Meter

[LizR62]

Hi all,
I bought a Contour Plus Blue Meter recently. I am Prediabetic and whilst it's not necessary for Prediabetics to test blood sugars at home I thought I would keep an eye on them from time to time.

Presumably the Meter runs off an internal battery. Does anyone know how long it's likely to work for before it needs a replacement battery and are they easy to purchase and install?

Thank you.

Most meter batteries last ages and use standard cr2032 batteries that standard shops sell

Your instruction book should tell you which battery it uses, they are usually the flat button batteries but they will usually last many months. There is a battery compartment with a flip off cover on most monitors.

Hi @LizR62, in case you don't have the paper copy to hand, here's a pdf link to the manual/instructions. Pages 56 and 57 mention batteries. https://www.diabetes.ascensia.co.uk...pb/web90006159_cntrplsblue_ug_enuk_r03-20.pdf

So two 3-volt CR2032 or DL2032 coin cell batteries. (Not a surprise. I think my tiny Accucheck meter used the same.)

As others said, no need to worry about it yet. The batteries will probably last a few months.
