Am helping a diabetic friend shop around for a good Blood Glucose Counter.?

My Freestyle Flash works fine and it's easy to use. Now, if they could just get the price of the strips down.....

I don't know about one that is specifically for that purpose alone. I do know however about a new product that is on the market. It is not being advertised yet. It is the "Omnipod Diabetes Management System". You can go to the web site at

www.myomnipod.com

It is a great product. I have met many people that use it. I also used to make it not too long ago. I hope that helps!

I use Accu Check and am satisfied. Look for one that will let you use blood from the forearm as there are fewer pain sensors there.

None of the meters use more than a tiny drop of blood, so that's not the issue. You want speed and accuracy and to be able to avoid fingertips as much as you can.

Your friend needs to talk to their insurance carrier, if they have one. Insurance companies work deals with the manufacturers so that strips may be cheaper from one company over another. You want the meter which you can get the cheapest strips for.

my mom uses One Touch, she hasn't had any troubles at all out of it, and it doesn't require a whole lot of blood.

I have had them all and I prefer Accucheck

bayer...one touch...accucheck...all abt the same...dont pay 4 one... if you dont have ins to pay the makers will give u a free one...i have 3.....
