They are too high, try this: http://www.alt-support-diabetes.org/Newly%20Diagnosed.htm Dunno about the accuracy, call the number on the back of the meter and ask them. -- No Husband Has Ever Been Shot While Doing The Dishes

I had just received it from my diabetic supplier. I understand that there may be differences between meters. I had been using the Accu-check Active meter. Since I carefully track my results everyday, I wanted to see how different the two meters performed. First, I checked with the Accu-check. I got a 107. Then, I did 6 back-to-back tests with the OneTouch. I got 6 totally different readings, with a difference of up to 40 points! I did 2 more tests with the Ultra. This time, I used the same drop of blood. I squeezed out a nice drop of blood and let it set on my finger. I let the strip suck up some blood from it and measure. I then immediately (using the exact same drop of blood) measured again. The meter measured and came up with over a 30 point difference! Okay, So, I did the Accu-check first and got a 107. I then did those 8 tests on the OneTouch and all of those readings were very different. Then, just for the sake of curiosity, I then went and did another test with the Accu-check. Guess what?!? The Accu-check reported the same 107 that I got the first time I had checked it! I called my diabetic supplier and asked him to send me some Accu-check strips and to pick up his OneTouch. I wouldn't even mind if the meter was way off, as long as it was consistent! But, that OneTouch was all over the place. Bad meter? Maybe. But, I don't have the resources to be wasting strips like that. YMMV Cheers! Danno,T2,USA
