I favor One Touch. You can get a free meter, but strips are separate. Its chemical system is less prone to false high readings. Strips on RX are paid for by most insurances and medicare.
He has thin veins. He was very hydrated the day before the test but still it was an experience for him!!

Thank you MRs.D for your suggestion
