[QUOTE="obloomingthistle, post: 72777, member: 15039"] For me I look for convenience and ease of use in a blood glucose monitor. It doesn’t matter how close or accurate it is IF I don’t like it I won’t use it. Personally, I hate mucking about with the individually sensors. I kept dropping them. They took up a lot of space and were an extra time consuming step in my busy life. I found the [b]Accu-chek compact Plus[/b] and the [b]Bayer Breeze2 [/b]and love both of them. I do have to say they both have their pros and cons. The [b]Accu-chek[/b] is bigger, bulkier and the drum is a bit big but it has a much better finger pricker. I like the[b] Breeze2 [/b]much better; the disk is easier to carry. It’s also no coding and it tells me on the face how many tests I have left. Thankfully, I won an [b]Accu-chek Multi Clik [/b]and use it with my[b] Breeze2[/b]. I haven’t noticed much different in the values when I use these but I’ll have to use them/test with the same blood sample and see what happens. All in all I think as long as you have a BG monitor you are happy with and will use it doesn’t matter which one you have. You don’t want one you hate that just gathers dust like my One Touch. Just my humble opinion. :O) Smiles, Obloomingthistle :D One month on NovoRapid & Lantus - Blood sugars now normal Possible LADA Being tested for gluten intolerance/Coeliac Disease [/QUOTE]
