I have seen the Freestyle lite and Contour Next as two of the most recommended blood glucose meters. Does anyone have personal experience with one being more accurate than the other?
Dr Bernstein recommends the Freestyle freedom lite for accuracy in normal blood glucose ranges. I saw a video in which he said that he sees the Contour Next One read consistently high in the normal range but is more accurate than the Freestyle at high blood sugars. He doesn’t care about accuracy at high blood sugars because he tries to keep himself and his patients as close to 83 mg/dL (4.6 mmol) all day as possible.
Where I live the Contour Next strips are much cheaper and easier to find than the Freestyle lite.
