That's a no brainer - the best meter is a free one! Call Life-Scan,
One Touch, or any of the others and with a little talk they will send
you a free meter. I had used on of the old Accu-Chek Compact with the
drum. It was okey, but it had a few problems. They have now come out
with a new model, the Compact Plus. Called Accu0Chek and ask them a
couple of questions about the new meter, and they offered me a new
model free. Remember, they make all their money of strips, not the
meters.

Yes, so the best meter is the one it costs the least to use, for those without insurance. For others, it doesn't matter as much.
