Which ReliOn requires the least amount of blood?

[katiesmom]

Which ReliOn meter (or any other recommended meter) requires the least amount of blood? I dont care about the cost, I just want one that requires the least amount of blood and is reliable.
I am beginning the sugardance again after 3 years of remission. And although she never let me test her before, I am going to try it again.
Thanks in advance.

The Relion Confirm or Micro take the smallest size possible and they're affordable

They take only 0.3

Check this chart to see how truly small that is...and yes, that's all it needs!!

yes what chris said

I have the relion micro and I love it. takes barely any blood at all to get a reading.

relion prime has the cheapest test strips, but it takes nearly twice as much blood. I don't know if that's really an issue or not, as I haven't tried it, but I like knowing I don't need much blood and sometimes I do get only a teensy drop. the micro has no trouble reading it.

I like my Micro as well.

Giving a third vote to the Micro. I've used it for 2+ years now without a hitch.

Have you ever dropped it? I've dropped mine a few times onto the hard floor. Only have had it since end of june.

I don't remember dropping it, but the cat did bat it off the kitchen table one day.

I got the Relion Ultima, and I'm regretting it. I'm finding it slow, and what seems like a large sample is required. I chose this meter because it didn't say a control solution was required like the other models. Sadly, it cannot be exchanged.
