Just got a letter from my insurance that they'd like to send me a new glucose meter.
Of these 5 which should I get? Or is there another that is worth paying for myself?

OneTouch Verio IQ
OneTouch Ultra 2
OneTouch UltraMini
Accu-Check Nano
Accu-Check Aviva Plus

    Do you take insulin? If so, the Verio IQ is supposed to be really good. I don't use insulin, and I use the One Touch Ultra Smart. It keeps your averages for 90 days, 60 days, 30 days, 14 days, and 7 days. This helps me keep track of where my HBA1c is. Example: my 90 day average at one time was 138...and my A1c at the time was 7.4. I have worked really hard to lower my A1c and my meter now shows the 90 day average is 108. I just had my lab work done yesterday, so I am excited to see what my A1c is now when I go to my endocrinologist on Sept. 30.

    Thanks! Got the Verio IQ in the mail this week and it does seem like a great monitor.
    And the new lancet is way less painful than my old one.

    And congrats on your BG improvements!
