What is the best blood glucose meter out there?
My brother has type 1 diabetes. What’s the most accurate blood glucose meter available that has a usb connector and s reasonably priced?
All of the presently available glucometers are equally accurate. Your brother should base his choice on the price of the strips not the price of the glucometer as he will be using the strips for the rest of his life. You are correct that some glucometers have USB ports and as a physician I prefer that patients use these. These glucometers will print out 5 pages of data analyzing averaging and charting readings. I ask patients to email their results. The computer is not used by physicians as often as it should be. It improves communication and reduces cost. I wish you both the very best of health and in all things may God bless.
One Touch Ultra is what I use. I’m Type 1. Just so you know, there isn’t really a "best" blood glucose meter out there. They all perform the same function.

My wife uses Accu-chek Aviva. She is not one much on change but really liked the change to this one. She uses less test strips and only small blood sample. Some Drs. can get them for you for free, strips are the killer.
