Can any doc tell me what's the best insulin meter?

Glucose meter?: Hi. I'm pretty sure you mean glucose meter. Are you a newly diagnosed diabetic? It can all be a little overwhelming at first! All the major meters are fine: FreeStyle (Abbvie), One Touch (LIfescan), Bayer (aspirin) , others. They're all fast, take tiny sample volumes, and are accurate. Your insurance may give better coverage for a particular meter - if so, go with that one. Define a goal blood glucose range
