[QUOTE="brassyblonde900, post: 1904931, member: 445897"] Ha ha,;) I use 7 meters at the moment. I habitually deploy 5 or 6 at any testing episode. I know how you feel:banghead: Re being willing to pay more, my position is that, I pay enough as it is. I am not willing to pay anymore than what I do at the moment, which when all is considered is quite paltry. This is because I hunt for and purchase all my testing supplies from eBay most of the time. Having read surveys etc, I have now decided to keep and use just 2 BG meters only for my testing viz the freestyle Optium Neo and the Accu-Check Performa Nano. I have the Glucomen lx2, it consistently gives a very high reading, being as I am practically obsessed with having a normal BG level, testing with that meter has meant for a lot of frustration, and needless angst. As for my Ketone testing, I grudgingly will keep using the Glucomen Lx2 and the Freestyle optium The freestyle optium ketone strips are not that easy to find at the price point I want. Whereas the Glucomen ketone strips are always available at the price point I want. The careSens ketone strips never come up on eBay so that rules it out as a contender:dead: [/QUOTE]
