Hi everybody!

I've been using the new monitor for more than a week, and it's accurate. I bought the Prestige IQ model, $13.25, and the strips are $16.25 for 50.

The downside is that the strips are not as easy to use as the OneTouch were. These have a little dot in the middle for the drop of blood, so it requires some target shooting. But other than that, I'm satisfied. A bit of an inconvenience and some concentration is okay, considering the savings. I had been paying about $50 for 50 strips, and for a self-pay person (I have zero health insurance), that's a pretty significant difference.

I hope this is of some value. Have a safe weekend.
