[QUOTE="BloodThirsty, post: 1936928, member: 489508"] Yes indeed. I have tried the cheapies and banged on about this before... one of the greatest influences on glucometer accuracy is hematocrit levels, i.e. the individual's percentage of red blood cells. Without doubt, the best meter I have used is the GlucoRx HCT which compensates for hematocrit and is relatively cheap. The Accu-Check Aviva Expert comes a close second but it is expensive and you have to scour eBay to get one. However I suspect that the standard Accu-Chek Aviva will be equally accurate as it uses the same test strips. At the end of the day, why save a bob per strip to obtain innacurate or inconsistent results. [/QUOTE]
