Comment:
This product was given to me by my physician, as all his patients use the same meter for interfacing and tracking results in the office.<br /><br />I acquired the same software so I can review and analyze results between doctors visits. It requires a special cable, not easily found, and not inexpensive. The software allows me to better manage results than could be done by scrolling through past results on the meter.<br /><br />CR indicates a cost per test strip at about double the price that can be found online.<br /><br />My readings SEEM to be reasonable, as I know when my blood sugar is low... and is reflected correctly on the meter. I also know if I've been 'bad' and readings seem appropriate for my level of 'badness'. <br /><br />My experience has been OK. Software could certainly be improved. Also the addition of software features on the meter itself would be nice. A rolling 1 or 2 day average would seem easy to include.

Comment:
I had been using the Freestyle with good results compared to office visits. The OneTouch Ultra Mini reads about 28% higher than my Freestyle, based on over 11 samples. I called the company and they gave me a lot of comments that made no sense. My doctor uses the OneTouch because the office is equipped to download patient's meters and use pattern recognition software.<br /><br />For me, I'll continue to use both for awhile, but I don't trust the OneTouch.
