I need to get the Most accurate glucose meter, I check my levels about 25 times a day and I use the insulin pump, my A1c is about 5.3, so I need to find a glucose meter that is very accurate so that I can get my a1c level down to about 5.
Thanks so much!!!

I still use my old "Advantage Meter".
I live in New Zealand and a couple of weeks ago on the News it said that the new meters were being recalled because they were giving a high reading ... sorry but forgot what brand it was.
If I got down to 5 .... I would be hypo on the floor. I cannot go below 9.
Why check 25 times a day? Good grief that's about every 55 minutes. Don't you sleep 8 hours.
I've been a diabetic for 35 years and never had any problem and check my blood sugar about once a fortnight.
Why don't you go and do what I did. I went out and found a Doctor that is a Diabetic. Makes life a lot more easier.
I have never in the past 35 years been to a Diabetic Clinic and found a Diabetic Doctor or Nurse. And yet .... they are telling us what we feel like, what to do, how much insulin to take daily..... how the heck do they know how we feel.
You go for your check-up, you get a different Doctor, he changes your insulin, he also changes your dosage, he also tells you that you should be taking insulin four or five times a day .... no wonder some Diabetics go high ... they are stressed out with the changes.
I take 24 units in the morning and 12 at night .. .and not changing. They kept altering my insulin and dosage 20 years ago and I went from 9 stone to 6 ... and my mum thought I was dying.
So I haven't been back since ... I have a Doctor who asks me how I'm doing ... I say fine .. .and that's the way I want it.
I don't want the stress of what they try to say to you. It's your life. I'm 56 now, and I got Diabeties at the age of 21 ... and I'm fine. I stand on stage singing and playing my guitar in a band twice a week for four hours each time ... hey I'm not going to stop the band and go have an injection or something to eat .... this is my living.
And I'm doing just great.

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.
Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!
I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

All the monitors are of the same accuracy. It really doesnt matter, its just a matter of how much you are wanting to spend.
If you will call One Touch, they have a special offer right now, where you can get one of two meters free.
Also check the websites of other meter brands and see what kind of offers they have.

most on the market are ok right now. if you are so worried just ask a doctor and sometimes they will give you one and in fact your insurance will pay for it.
