I got an OneTouch ultra2 when i was dx'd and was told that my insurance covered OneTouch strips the best. Not impressed with Onetouch Ultra2 at all. I looked around at other meters, but thought I was stuck because of strip price and to be honest, not much else impressed me either. All the meters looked the same: too big, limited features, and way overpriced for the technology inside. I ended up buying an Onetouch UltraMini just because it was small.

When I got looked into getting my pump, I found out it used freestyle strips in the integrated meter and found out they were the same price as the Onetouch strips. I wanted to get a backup meter in case I had problems with the pump so I looked at the Freestyle meters and bought the Freestyle Flash just because it looked good. Man, I wish I would have had the Flash the entire time. It is sweet compared to the onetouch meters. Smaller, cheaper, more features, and is better thought out in my opinion. I only got to use it a week before I started using my pump, but man, I almost wish my pump would have problems so I could use the Flash some more.
