Comparing blood glucose meters
Here are three ways of getting a list of the specs for most currently available meters. 1) Call Hospital Center Pharmacy in Boston, 1-800-824-2401 (US only). They have a chart which they will gladly send you. 2) The ADA publishes a Buyer's Guide to Diabetes Products once a year in the Resource Guide, a supplement to the January isue of Diabetes Forecast. As of January 2000, the latest is the Resource Guide 2000. The meters section lists meters and features in a table. The ADA does not recommend one meter over another, but does include some tips on choosing a meter. 3) The ADA has this same Buyer's Guide information online at http://diabetes.org/diabetesforecast/2000BuyersGuide/default.asp This URL will change in future years. The caveat is that you must be patient. The table is a huge scanned graphic rather than text. It will take about ten minutes to download all the graphics on the page on a good 28.8 modem connection, and possibly much longer.
