Newly diagnosed Diabetic Type 2, which meter ?please help!confused…?

hi there,
it will great if i can get some suggestions. i was just diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and i am looking for a meter. i have been doing research online about which is the best one.However, it seems like every meter have some good and bad feedbacks. The three types of meter i had been looking at is One touch, Freestyle, and Accu-check Aviva. i want something where the strips will be affordable and the most important is accuracy. i wanna make sure that my results are accurate. Infact i am also getting a free any one freestyle lite meter soon. Please help me as what will be good. Help please…..

I’ve used all those brands and a few others. I like the Freestyle best. Mine have all been accurate. They have great customer support, are very fast and easy to use, and allow testing on your arms and legs, not just your fingers. I find finger testing very painful because of arthritis, so being able to test on my arms really helps.

There is one more feature about Freestyle that makes it a real winner – the have the smallest blood sample requirement of all the meters out there!

That means that you don’t waste test strips. If you don’t put enough blood on the strip with One Touch and other meters, you get an error message and have to discard the strip. Each one costs from 80 cents to a buck, so you don’t want to waste them.

With One Touch, which requires a large sample, I was throwing out lots of money. Same thing with other meters, too many error messages.

With Freestyle, I get enough blood every time because it requires a TINY sample, only 0.3 microliter. I love it! No more wasted strips.

Another great feature of the Freestyle is that now you have even longer to apply the blood, up to a minute. If there isn’t enough blood you can put more until your minute is up, another money saving feature. With other meters, you can’t do that.
