[QUOTE="Deleted Account, post: 1609782"] There are lots of things to consider if you have a choice of meter. Some of these may not be important to you and others oly become important when you realise you have a choice: - cost of meter - cost of test strips - size of meter - size of screen. This is important if you have failing eye-sight - memory on meter. Most meters save the last week or more of results and calculate an average - interface to download results. You can download the results to a spreadsheet to create graphs for analysis - additional functionality on meter such as calculation of insulin dose - what you want to test - just BG or also ketones (some do both) - test strip packaging. Many come in tubs, some come in individual foil wraps and some in cartridges of multiple strips. I have a Freestyle Neo. It is small and compact, measures ketones and BG (which I need because I have a pump). The test strips come in individual foils. I dislike the extra rubbish but like not having to carry a tub of strips with me - I can just put a few strips in my purse. It is easy to download results. [/QUOTE]
