recently I was given some test meters to try out, first was an accucheck Mobile with the cassette system, the second is the one touch verio pro.
they both seem to be fairly easy to use but I find the readings are very different, it seems the accucheck uses whole blood for its readings, and the verio pro uses plasma, how it does it is beyond my simple mind as on both systems the sample is whole capillary blood, ther must be some sort of filter system built into the test strips :? in the writeup it says the Lab uses plasma readings for the hab1c test.
although the blood test readings are different, on testing using a control solution, both meters give results only differing 0.01 so which is the better more accurate meter.
the test strips/ cartridges are very little difference in price
accucheck charges ove £24 pounds for the monitoring software.
One touch software is free to down load and very easy to use but you do need to purchase a usb cable although they too are also quite cheap
In my little world confusion reigns supreme,
does any one else use either of these meters and if so what are your views
