[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1605486, member: 94045"] I understand what you are saying. However, all meters have to pass the same accuracy standards before they can be marketed. None of them is accurate. They just need to be within plus or minus 15% for 95% of the time. I like the Accu Chek Mobile because it is convenient. The strips come inside a cartridge that is inserted in the meter. There is no handling of strips and much less danger of contamination. It also has a lancet pen that can be attached at the side, and this holds a drum of 6 lancets, so again, no touching lancets. You also only need the meter to carry about with you. Other meters you also need to carry about the tub of strips and the lancet device. I doubt it the accuracy is very much different from any other meter. If you come off insulin and have to buy your own, all you will be looking for are trends, upwards and downwards, and what eat of your food choices are doing to your levels. Accuracy is only essential if you have to inject insulin according to your meter readings - and you don't. [/QUOTE]
