What is the best blood sugar monitoring meter?

No best one: The best one is the one your insurance will cover and one that you will use. They each have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Simple or fancy?: Meters vary a lot. Small ones are easier to carry, but those with poor vision may want a larger one that is easier to read. Some are easier than others to set time & date. Some can analyze your readings in great detail. Other try to be as simple to use as possible. Your doctor may want you use one s/he can download at the office. Some have cheaper strips. What are your priorities?
