You can control those lights by pushing the bottom button the front of the device. The meter turns on automatically when you put a test strip into the port on the bottom, and notably the FreeStyle Lite has both a display backlight and test strip port light to help you check your blood sugar at night or in dimly lit settings. It stores up to 400 blood sugar results, and offers averages for the past 7, 14, and 30 days. The FreeStyle Lite gives you a result in just 5 seconds. This meter takes the industry’s smallest blood sample sizes, just 0.3 microliters. It’s fairly small and portable, measuring 4.10 x 2.60 x 7.30 inches, and weighing just over 8 ounces.
Available since 2007, this is one of the top-selling brands of glucose fingerstick meters available in the United States.
