They are good meters and I used to use them. However, not the strips are to expensive so I changed to a meter with a lot less expensive strips. Many here use Walmart's Relion Confirm or Confirm Micro.
The One Touches also require more blood, 1 uL vice 0.6 or 0,3 mL

It says these strips work with that meter and are less expensive then the relion confirm/micro strips

Those generic strips seem fine yo just need an older One Touch meter.
The Amzon strips are not these:

I used a One Touch meter for years and loved it very much. It always tested so close to my vet's meter (and blood work glucose test results) too. I used to get the strips from E Bay because they were so expensive in the stores. I finally switched over, reluctantly, to a meter that used less expensive test strips. I don't think they had these GenStrips when I was using my beloved One Touch.

There were problems or potental problems with the strips made by Shasta (green label). The Amazon page specificly says they a made by another company, not Shasta and do not show a green label. Also I fpind the same strips sold by a diabetic supply company
