Message: <blockquote data-quote="rubold" data-source="post: 701963" data-attributes="member: 138086"><p>Interesting you say that about Abbott not innovating an old test method.  I obtained an  Optium Neo that uses the same strips as the Libre, to evaluate the accuracy compared to Freestyle Lite, in anticipation of  obtaining a Libre in the future.   The Abbott meters that use the Freestyle Lite strips are generally the most accurate on the market from an independent test report..  These strips also work with the tiniest blood drop, assisted by the ZipWik  tabs and more blood can be added in subsequent attempts if you fail to meet even the miniscule requirement at first attempt.   So I was certainly surprised when I first read that Libre used the Optium strips, particularly when Abbott's own package inserts demonstrate that Freestyle Lite strips have superior accuracy.   Having said all that, my comparison checks with Lite strips have all been within 0.2 mmol.</p></blockquote><p></p>
