Hi Lisa,

Well both the ultra and freestyle report the BGL in plasma levels (as do almost all meters these days) - that I am sure about. In addition, both meters advertise that they are accurate within 96.x %, so one of these meters is not telling the truth ;-) All I care about with these meters is accuracy/consistency and that is it -


Thanks,

Adam
