[QUOTE="jackois, post: 2024811, member: 99684"] If you can input a reading to to the Expert meter, that's the way I'd go. That way you aren't re-inventing the wheel. I would say the 90% of the time the G6 is reliable and matches a random finger test. What you will get is the enhancement of seeing your trends, how your insulin actually works, indication of rate of change and alarms for low/high blood sugar. I usually just use my carb to insulin ratio mentally and calculate corrections in the same way. I tend to be quite conservative with food choices, sticking to tried and tested meals and know the effects that different carb types have on my sugars. I use the Mysugr app on my android phone as a record keeper. Understandably this doesn't answer you question completely but hope it helps. [/QUOTE]
