Default Consumers Union Rated them last year

Consumers union Mag rated them last year Sept 2008 and its available at the Library on 466. They said > Best glucose meters: 1 One Touch $20 2. Ascensia $80 3 ReliOn $9 4 Accu Chek $75 But read the article.

I use a Bayer Breeze 2 and find it convenient since it has uses a disk of 10 so you don't need to put in test strips each time. I also tried two other brands rated better by CU and found the Breeze 2 easier to use. BTW I get the meters free from my doctor - just ask if he has any meters. I guess the mfg make a ton of on the strips/disks.

CU also rated Blood Pressure meters in the same article.
