My mail order strips all usually have the same code, so I change the code at the most 4 times a year.

I can't say I've ever had any huge variation in bg between having the correct and/or incorrect code on the meter. My nurse used to check my meter and see that the code was off, tell me how inaccurate it was, I'd recheck with the correct code and the number would be within 10. Heck I can get that much difference by using a different finger or different meter with the same blood sample.

The old Accu-Cheks used to have code chips to insert into the meter.. I thought those were cool and collected them for a while.

The One Touch Select is what will be the Ultra Link (at least as far as I can tell from the pictures on Carelink). So no coding there, and Freestyle has their Freedom and Lite now with no coding.
