[QUOTE="aspot, post: 2266587, member: 510128"] Very interesting... I have currently 3 meters. Used Freestyle Optium Neo, then AccuChek Mobile and now Contour Next One. Prefer the last 2 as they comes with Bluetooth and work well on smartphone. Did some tests on all of them and as expected AccuChek Mobile was way off. The Contour and Freestyle were almost same (6.8 vs 7.1) but AccuChek 12.7. Spent one day testing all 3 devices and results were same. The AccuChek was always few numbers higher (3-5!). So after 12 tests I ruled out AccuChek (not going to use it anymore)despite being technically the best of all. Also did test when visiting my diabetes nurse and AccuChek "failed " again. The nurses meter showed 8.1,Freestyle 7.9 and AccuChek? 11.9!!! I'm not lobbying for particular brand, but accuracy is very important for me. It determine the insulin intake and if incorrect, we all know what can happen... I would say try your meter (s) when seeing your diabetes nurse and use the one closest to his/her reading. [/QUOTE]
