| What a great self-experiment, Jedi! Thanks so much for re-posting the link, and certainly for ALL your effort! Makes me feel better about my meter.
The moral, I suppose, is find a meter and stick with it. I'm using a True-Track right now, and the first test I did was exactly what my sugar had been at the lab, so I guess that's about as good as it gets. I have and Ultra2, but it consistently reads 10 points higher. Well, sometimes 5 points lower. However, I can actually afford the True Track strips.
I've heard some stuff about the TT meters, but mine has been a consistently good one for me. It's like everything else I'm learning about this disease: everyone is different.
