One Touch as a rule is better IMO.
Also the strips may be off, 10 pts either way, as a rule.
And calibrating with a test solution to see if the meter is off.

This thread discusses glucometer systems and gives links to details.

Thank you for this heads-up. I will take if i take anything with sugar alcohols in the food.

The reason why i want my glucometer is even a small amount of blood can be read. And it looks like the results are close to the range of LABCORP.

Thank you Mrs.D.
