I've also used both the One Touch Ultra and Freestyle Flash, and have to agree with the others. I used to solely use the Ultra (while insurance covered strips), but later switched to the Flash (to see if I'd like it and to prepare for the Cozmonitor's release). I like how the Flash doesn't start countdown until enough blood has been applied. JasonJayhawk gave a good comparison of the two. The size of the numbers and display (on the Flash) could pose a concern for your grandmother. In that case, it may be best for her to go with the UltraSmart, but as Shy said, YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary).
The meter that lg described (the Accu-Check VoiceMate) is a good one, but the price is extremely steep (the cheapest price I've found was $399.00! <or about that>). Hope this helps, and keep us posted on which one she goes with, and how she likes it.
