What currently is the most accurate glucose meter for diabetes?

I still use my old “Advantage Meter”.
I live in New Zealand and a couple of weeks ago on the News it said that the new meters were being recalled because they were giving a high reading … sorry but forgot what brand it was.

If I got down to 5 …. I would be hypo on the floor. I cannot go below 9.

Why check 25 times a day? Good grief that’s about every 55 minutes. Don’t you sleep 8 hours.

I’ve been a diabetic for 35 years and never had any problem and check my blood sugar about once a fortnight.

Why don’t you go and do what I did. I went out and found a Doctor that is a Diabetic. Makes life a lot more easier.

I have never in the past 35 years been to a Diabetic Clinic and found a Diabetic Doctor or Nurse. And yet …. they are telling us what we feel like, what to do, how much insulin to take daily….. how the heck do they know how we feel.

You go for your check-up, you get a different Doctor, he changes your insulin, he also changes your dosage, he also tells you that you should be taking insulin four or five times a day …. no wonder some Diabetics go high … they are stressed out with the changes.

I take 24 units in the morning and 12 at night .. .and not changing. They kept altering my insulin and dosage 20 years ago and I went from 9 stone to 6 … and my mum thought I was dying.

So I haven’t been back since … I have a Doctor who asks me how I’m doing … I say fine .. .and that’s the way I want it.

I don’t want the stress of what they try to say to you. It’s your life. I’m 56 now, and I got Diabeties at the age of 21 … and I’m fine. I stand on stage singing and playing my guitar in a band twice a week for four hours each time … hey I’m not going to stop the band and go have an injection or something to eat …. this is my living.

And I’m doing just great.
