[QUOTE="In Response, post: 2510339, member: 527103"] I have been using the Freestyle Optimum Neo for years and love it. I have not compared my numbers with another meter because I know all meters have an error tolerance of around 15% so one may be 15% higher and the next 15% lower. And values vary by finger all the time. The precision of the numbers gives a false impression of the accuracy. I ditched the case as soon as I got it. For me, it is unnecessary bulk. I can carry a meter and a strip of test strips in my bag or pocket with a lancet device. It is also fantastic because it can also test ketones so I don't need to carry two meters with me. Ability to test ketones is very important for me as a Type 1 managed via an insulin pump. A couple of things I dislike - more rubbish with the individually wrapped test strips. But this is outweighed by the reduced size compared to carrying a tube of strips around with me all the time. - when the battery gets low it can just stop with little notice. Once I became aware of this, I just carry spare batteries with my diabetes kit. [/QUOTE]
