Hello april2
The glucose meters are only accurate to plus/minus 15% you can use two strips on the same meter and not get the same result, so it's unlikely that meters from different manufacturers would give you the same numbers. The only way to get a truly accurate reading is to send a sample off to a laboratory. So just pick a meter and use that one for your tests, the other one can be a spare.
