[QUOTE="Squire Fulwood, post: 934541, member: 44622"] The pivotal question seems to be "Do you want accuracy or affordability"? It's not the price of the meter you have to worry about, it's the price of the consumables. Test strips and lancets will set you back a pretty penny. You will soon forget the price you paid for the actual meter. The Abbott Freestyle Lite proved to be accurate but the price of the test strips is extortionate. You may pay £10 to £20 for a box of 50. The SD codefree is a little bit inaccurate in that mine reads one mmol too high in the lower range and anything you like in the higher range but knocking one off the score is economical when you can buy test strips for about £6 for 50. I recycle my lancets. That is I use them once and then tip them all into a steamer for 30 minutes. [/QUOTE]
