SD Glucometer - accuracy

For a long time, and in his latest Teleseminar at the end of July, Dr Bernstein has been recommending the Freestyle Freedom and Freedom Lite as the most accurate meters. (As a renowned diabetes doctor, he has the opportunity to test a lot of meters, as, he says, reps are forever wanting to sell to him). This with the caveat that he considers no meters are accurate once the bg levels rise too far above normal. I can't comment, as the high cost per strip has always deterred me from buying these strips, though I long for their accuracy. I have long used a TEE2 and a Codefree meter. When I get a reading that I don't like, I test the one against the other. Sometimes they are at variance, but usually they more or less agree. Doing the double test helps me in that it forces me to accept readings that are higher than I want. Sometimes, instead of testing with 2 meters, I test a second time with one. The consonance / variability is about the same.

thank you for that.

i think it completes a circle for me.

but as was said, it is the trend you need to follow, so total accuracy not real issue as long as it records at the same variance each time, i'm happy.
and your experiment there saves me the cost and time..many thanks.
