One Touch Selecta Marketed by Life scan or johnson & Johnson is perfect. I am using since last 8 years.

I am using Glucocard. Accu-check is also popular one

I use accucheck Active. I find it very easy to use. Also the strips are lot economical on ebay. Check price of strips on ebay and yr chemist shop before you buy and device. Also post yr final decision and reason.

I use Accucheck Active for the past one and half year.But calibration of this is important.Before opening the new container one has to calibrate with Lab value.Thanks.

Dear sir,

I am using "Accu Chek Active" model Glucose monitor for the last 2 and a half years. It is easy to use. The monitor gives consistent readings. It has a memory to store Glucose level readings. The test strips are available in all the medical shops and on line stores. The price is around Rs.1200/-. If you go for cheaper ones you will end up in in consistent and confusing readings.

Not what you're looking for?
