When I first got the Reli-On it was almost the same all the time as the One touch.. But not considerably higher. I know statistically it may not be much in the larger picture. But when your worried about going consistently over that 125 marker, then it starts to become an issue for me. I would hope the One Touch is closer.. When I had my lab work done the one touch I have was very close within I think 2 points. Just as in the meters I also find that depending on which lab does work that they can also have a rather wide variation.

One lab decided my morning after a huge breakfast was 71. That would have been by far the lowest reading I ever saw with a meter. I never have even been close to that. But they insisted it was correct so who knows what happens.
