From 2016 to 2021, Canada’s population grew by approximately 1.3 million due to immigration. For newcomers living with diabetes, differences in language, health beliefs, and cultural perceptions of the condition can create barriers to effective self-management.
The CONTOUR®NEXT family of meters is designed with simplicity and ease of use in mind—helping new Canadians feel confident in their ability to monitor their blood glucose and take charge of their diabetes.
The CONTOUR®NEXT GEN blood glucose monitoring system is easy-to-use and highly accurate1:
- Big numbers on display
- Large rubber buttons
- No initial set-up, CONTOUR®NEXT GEN is ready to use out of the box‡,1
Language can sometimes be a barrier to effective diabetes management. That’s why the CONTOUR®NEXT GEN blood glucose monitoring system is designed to communicate results visually—making readings easier to understand at a glance.
Its unique smartLIGHT® feature uses coloured lights to instantly show whether blood glucose levels are above, within, or below the target range.
In fact, 92% of users surveyed said smartLIGHT® makes it quicker and easier to interpret their readings2.
To further support new Canadians, CONTOUR® offers complete video instructions to guide them through proper use of their blood glucose meters. These videos help ensure users feel confident using their device and can easily troubleshoot if any issues arise.
