I've been using the AccuChek CP for 2 years. I find it bulky to carry around. Plus the only computer link is thru a proprietary setup that is expensive. I switched to the Bayer USB and found it to be a great size and easy to upload. The problem is this:
Accu-Chek Reading: 145, 145, 142
Bayer-USB Reading: 182, 212, 172
From the same drop of blood, same finger. Are you kidding me? That's a 50 point difference!
I took the readings alternating between the two. AC, USB, AC, USB and so on.
So I tried it again and again and again over the course of many days and the results are the same 7 out of 10 times the Bayer USB 1) reads wildly and 2) is way different than the consistent readings of the AccuChek.
In summary, I don't know what to believe but since the AccuChek is consistent, I go with that. What a pain and a waste of money.
Can anyone tell me they believe their meter to be 1) accurate and 2) consistent?
Thanks, Mike
