| I've used both and prefer the Freestyle brand of meters myself. But YMMV, it's a personal thing.
If you're looking for one that's easier for your Grandmother to see, then the OneTouch SureStep might be an option. In the Senior's Center I worked in, these were the meters given to patients with poor/failing eyesight because of the large display, as well as the off-meter blood application.
FYI often the drug stores (such as Shopper's Drug Mart and Safeway) will have promotions where you get the meter for free with the purchase of 100 test strips. They also sometimes keep demo meters on hand so that you can try it out and make sure it's what you want.
