[QUOTE="graj0, post: 958663"] Sorry to hear that your surgery is giving you grief. May I suggest that for a week or so you use both at the same time. If there is a difference and there is an old thread which indicates there will be ([URL]http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/agamatrix-wavesense-jazz.41689/[/URL]), you can at least tell your doctor that as you were able to get good control using the meter you had bought, that's the one you want to stick with. You could also document the ease or difficulty in using the meter. I find that the ease of use is important, easier to use, more likely to test often. It is a sad fact that there is an effort to decrease costs, but it should never be at the cost of the patients health. I get the impression that doctors listen to the marketing hype when they suggest different (cheaper) meters, rather than listen to the patients' experiences. Figure 5 above was interesting, the GoCompare of test strips. All the best, let us know how things go. [/QUOTE]
