So what do we want in a Meter? Accuracy Hematocrit range Ease of use Blood glucose range Temperature ranges Memory Ability to download Ability to reapply more blood Alternate testing capacity Size of displays Battery required Alarms Computer Downloading Every company has their own programs All require some data port and computer access All have print outs All have the ability to program desired ranges All the companies I have encountered will give free software and often the data cables too 12
