5.0 out of 5 stars Sticking with this meter and test strips, January 20, 2012

I started testing in July, 2011. I've been through five different meters. The only one I liked before this one was Abbott's Freestyle Lite meter and strips, but they are very expensive. Every other meter I've gotten has read higher than the Freestyle. I thought initially it was the other meters, especially since those other meters were not consistent from one strip to the next and could vary way more than the plus or minus 10% that they are supposed to be "allowed." This one also reads high than the Freestyle, but it is at least consistent with itself. Very seldom do I have readings that when repeated vary by more than a few points.

When I have tried to "calibrate" with blood sugar tests at the clinic, the Freestyle has been a little below while the others were all higher than the clinic result. I haven't tryed comparing this one with the clinic yet.

As to the discrepancy with the Freestyle meter, I wound up coming up with a chart to account for the differences because the discrpancy increased exponentially from the Freestyle the higher the numbers got. And not a strict percentage. Basically, when my readings are below 90, they are about equal, but when the Freestyle reads 130, the other meters read in the 160s (putting the Freestyle at about 75% of the other meters). I recently had my A1C tested and it was 6.5, which the clinic says equates to an average of 140 for the three months it covers. If that's the case, based on the testing I've been doing (disclaimer: I'm definitely anal, I test a lot and keep charts!), then the "other" meters are all high and the Freestyle is low. So I'll use my calculations and have a chart that shows a range of where I am, using this meter as the upper limit of that range.

So now, I'm going to stay with the Precision Xtra and keep my charts and use my conversion chart to give myself a range of where my blood sugar is. I'm more interested in the trend anyway, which is going down, thank goodness!

Always a reliable product with excellent delivery and prices. I live abroad and the test strips are so much cheaper via Amazon. Thank you!
