| Grandmother with poor eyesight. The most important thing is to get one she can read. First make sure the one she chooses does not have so much glare she can not see the numbers or words on the screen. Glaring surfaces are the worst for seeing through as you get older. Larger the numbers and symbols the better, but a back lighted display may make a little smaller display easier to read. Also have her handle them and see if she has problems handling them. The strips are sometimes hard to handle or hard to insert into the units so play with them. Both are good units so she should pick the one she likes or feels comfortable with. My mother used an Ultra untill she went into a home and she only had one eye and had a cataract in it.
