ISO 15197:2013 compliance is the specification that matters and the one budget meters quietly omit -- it sets how far a reading may stray before the meter fails the standard, and a meter outside it can be wrong by enough to change an insulin dose.
Full details →Who the OneTouch Select Plus Simple Blood Glucose Monitoring System is for
Buy it if: Older users, or anyone who wants a meter with no setup and no menus at all.
Avoid it if: Anyone who needs a readings history to review or share with a clinician.
Who the Accu-Chek Instant Blood Glucose Monitoring System with 10 Test Strips is for
Buy it if: Anyone testing regularly who wants a meter held to a published accuracy standard.
