[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 1079877, member: 196898"] I have an Abbott NEO supplied anf supported by my GP and DSN,which they are currently feeding on scrip. I also use an SD Codefree which I fund myself. The NEO seems to be more stable and is definitely more accurate when I approach hypoland. it has large epaper display (like a small Kindle) and a red light that comes on when it thinks I am too low or too high (very useful when in hypoland, since the first thing to go for me is my eyesight). it has a built in averaging function, but I use my PC to log instead. The NEO sometimes spits a test strip out and fails to take a reading, so I have to be careful making sure it is properly inserted. it has never given me a misread, but I do get rejected strips as mentioned. The SD is a different story, and its readings can vary quite significantly. Funnily enough it averages out within a couple of mmol/L of the NEO, but ALWAYS higher. But i can get differences of up to 7 mmol/L between them off the same blood sample. i use it as a sanity check and i use it to check how the difference changes when I change to a new pak of strips. i have by this detected 2 paks of counterfeit strips. The strips are cheaper for the SD, and us diabetics can buy them VAT free by registering as such with the supplier. if i had to choose just one meter then I would trust the NEO, but not the SD.
