Don't forget those meters serve TWO diabetics. My wife is also a pumper.

I only use one, the Accuchek Aviva. Like it good so far. Probably will want another to keep a backup when I start work again. |
The meter I recommend the most -- UltraSmart & Ultra 2 (because of the larger font used to review bg history)
The meter I currently use the most - Compact Plus (because of convenience--not because I think it's any more accurate). It's also big and bulky and has no light. BUT, I can't seem to stop using it because it's all in one. No fumbling with strips and no need for a case. If they could make it a bit smaller, put in a light...

My wife has an Aviva and we both tried it and liked it insofar as we used just one vial of strips. I've no idea how reliable it is, but the few times we used it, it seemed as if it was accurate. If I went back to fiddling with strips, I think it would be a good choice, but I'd most likely return to my previous long-term companions, the Ultras.
