Some strips read other sugars as "glucose". They all have different chemical systems.

FreeStyle is one that will register mannose/mannitol, and other -ol sugar alcohols.

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.
