Never heard of it.
Whenever I go for blood work, I take my Freestyle with me and take a reading within 1 minute of the doctor drawing blood. The last time I got 96 (8:30 AM) and the lab results came back with 97. Close enough.
I'm a little bummed by the above report on the One Touch Ultra, since my insurance company will pay 100% of the cost of test strips for it but will pay nothing for Freestyle test strips. To eliminate this expense I was about to go out and buy an Ultra meter but I may reconsider now.
Any other meters out there which we know to be accurate? Therasense seems to be blacklisted by insurance companies. Nobody covers test strips for them, but always pays a significant portion for something else.
