Since I was first rx'ed, I've been using a Freestyle Flash meter to check
my
sugar levels. I recently got a new One Touch Ultra 2 to use to see how
different
these two meters calculated my levels. Well, there is a fairly consistent
difference of 20 points between these two meters. The newer One Touch
being the
higher of the two. Is this fairly common or should I suspect something
amiss in
one of these meters and which should I count on for accuracy???

Hippy

I've found as much as a 10% difference from one vial of strips to another,
even
one that uses the same code number.
