David Mendosa has an excellent blog on Health Central about the accuracy of meters. Find it at Comparing Meter Accuracy - Diabetes . The full study is listed and on page four the PDF file is a good chart for the meters and their accuracy.

Yeah, in those meters with poor accuracy it seemed they were most inaccurate at low levels... when you really want them to be dependable! (You can see it on the plots you mentioned - (page 4-9)).

GREAT! I've been wondering and this will make a great read!

At a quick glance, it's not so much the meter they are testing, it's the test strips. The meter itself is not such a big deal, it's a pretty simple device. Blood testing is almost all in the test strips.
