SureStep Technology ® LifeScan makes getting accurate glucose results perfectly easy. The excellent performance of LifeScan’s SureStep Technology* is a reflection of our commitment to accuracy, the most important feature of any blood glucose monitoring device. SureStep® Test Strips and Meters are painstakingly engineered to be accurate and precise, even at low glucose levels, and to avoid interferences from other substances. Our innovative test strip holder not only helps to promote proper strip insertion and accurate readings, it also repels blood to make cleaning easier. We recognize that great products must be easy to use, so we created a touchable test strip with an easy-to-see pink test square and a confirmation dot. And since SureStep® Meters perform an internal check each time they are turned on, no check strip is required. * The SureStep® Brand is marketed as Novo Assist™ or GlucoTouch® in certain international locations.
