You would need hundreds of samples to conclude anything significant about the accuracy of the specific kinds of meters. I think right now all it only shows is how the meters can vary drasticly.... almost 20%, The One touch even shows on the test strip bottle that its between 112 and 150 for the control... which is actually pretty bad! Even if it is a Normal distribution....
