Comparing blood testing meters, help please?

i have used a TruTrack meter for the last 4 years and have been happy with it. I just received a OneTouch UltraMini meter in the mail and compared the two by testing my blood with both. I am shocked with the readings. There was a 15 point difference. That is not acceptable since I am an uncontrollable brittle diabetic and need to have an accurate reading. So any suggestions on how i can determine which one is right. Consumer reports says that the OneTouch is the most accurate in their report we just got this weekend. Can anyone help me determine on which one I should continue to use. I like the compact features of the OneTouch but should I give up my old one for that reason. I have medicare so my strips are paid for. Please help me on this one. Thank you.

Most meters are accurate to within 10%. The FDA requires them to be within 20%. It sounds like your meters are within standards and within the 10% mark also. I’ve taken four consecutive tests with the same meter all within an 3 minute period and had results vary as much at 20. I’ve done this with five different meters and they all had variances of no less than 10. I use an Accu-Check Compact Plus as my primary meter. I use the OneTouch Ultra Mini and my travel meter. I also have an extra Accu-Check Compact Plus, Breeze II and OneTouch Ultra in my collection. I’ve tested them all twice now right after my blood draw for A1C and they have all been within 12 of the lab tests. Blood results can vary within a very short period of time, method you use, are where you test, temperature, humidity, when you last ate…Your meters sound like they are fine, nobody makes a meter that is mroe accurate than that on the regular retail market. I’ve read about some home meters that seem to be a bit more accurate but the meter cost was over $500 US and the testing supplies ran about $4 per test.
