Any body aware of a more accurate meter, that is NOT made in China? ok if it is expensive. hypoglycemic needing accurate readings. Thank you

Is anything not made in China anymore? My Freestyle has been great! No problems at all, at least for the 6 months I've had it. Walmart is selling Freestyle compatible strips (their brand I suspect) for under $10, so I'm going to give them a try.

I have used the FreeStyle lite meter since February. I have also used one made by Bayer and another made by Omron. I have found that the latter two ran 10 to 20 points higher than the FreeStyle lite. After talking with my doctor about the discrepancies, he said that the FreeStyle was more accurate and accuracy is highly important. I purchased a second one to keep in my purse since I never know when my sugar is going to take a nosedive. I also found that the test strips were less expensive - and the meter - on Amazon than anywhere else I have looked. The test strips generally run about $20 a box less than my pharmacy. If you order test strips online for the FreeStyle, the color of the box is different - white instead of yellow. My pharmacist said the white box is one the pharmaceutical company sells online, but it is the same as the yellow box. Hope this helps!

I don't think anything isn't made in China! Actually, the chem strips for the FreeStyle were so unreasonably expensive, I bought the made in China Reli-On Prime from WalMart and use only the FreeStyle lancet! Chem strips and monitor is Reli-On. It is assumed there is up to 15% inaccuracy in any or all of them.

No, it's made in China. I'm very happy with it. I've used it regularly after a heart ablation procedure and it's been very reliable, accurate and easy to use.

Sad but true China, states it right on the box. If it were USA, you would pay 50% more. The quality is good. This is my second unit. Good luck.

The meter only has a guage that reads, 0 to 2000 on top and 1 to 10 on the bottom of the line...I only paid less than $4.00 for the meter including shipping from China... It has saved me from over watering. The meter seems to be working ok but I don't know how accurate it is... For a cost of less than $5.00 it can't be too percise...

Yes I suggest you try a side by side test to make sure. You can contact their website with questions. I believe they make a meter also.

Cannot answer your question exactly but suggest you look at the following link - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZoeUgMFLyAw.It will give you a GOOD insight. For my use the meter is adequate.

As usual, made in China. Its a good meter, but the strips are very expensive. You can find great meters and pay half the price for the strips.

China. Don't buy it -- not necessarily because it's made in China (unless that's your sole criteria). But I bought this with high hopes. I want to know what temp my food is -- especially when grilling. Within a couple of weeks, the silicone-encased cord on one of the probes went bad and quit working. Then a couple of months later, the second one when bad. I called Taylor and asked them to send me a replacement cords -- and asked specifically if they would send me a braided metal-encased cord (which I had with a previous Taylor thermometer -- that worked for 18-24 months). The rep told me they don't make them that way anymore. When I asked why, she said it was too expensive. (Remember that lesson in Econ about "planned obsolescence"? Concept, in action. She nicely offered to replace the whole unit ("just this once"). That was nice. But rather than continue to monkey with these crazy digital thermometers, I ponied up nearly $100 for a Thermapen. And I love it. Fast, accurate, and hand made.

They have a kit you can buy that includes meter, 25 strips and the blood prick. Just look and you will find one for about $10 that's all you need.

Sorry Scott, I can't. I only know there is no uniform calibrating of meters - and therefore they are all different. After trying 3 - I found, for me, the Freestyle Lite to be the most accurate. My daughter uses One Touch - and her readings come in high too.

In my case, just the opposite. When compared to my old meter, I get 8 to 10 points higher reading. A comparison of A1C may be a more relevant reflection of accuracy to see if your numbers go up or down.

I didn't know there was a choice with the Nonin Go2. I am more interested in accuracy. The Nonin Go2 is reliable and compares with the health provider's equipment readings.

Bayer Ascensia Contour is accurate and not expensive. It is made in Japan. The readings are repeatable. I do not like the Bayer next. Its readings are variable and often not accurate. Another meter that is accurate is the Freestyle LYTE but it is more expensive and the strips are expensive. I do not know where it is made.

I am not sure but I just bought a life source monitor at the the drug store and I consistently get accurate readings on the first try. Once again, I think the sensors in this machine do not work very well. Money not well spent.

How did you try to measure 24 volts? If you used 2 twelve volt batteries in series make sure they were connected one + lead to the other - lead. Or try to measure 3 nine volt batteries snapped together. You should get 27 volts. I think there is a calibration pot on the back of the meter. It is very small and you will need a jewelers screwdriver to adjust it. Make sure the red lead goes to the + termingal of the battery. Try again and let me know. You could have a bad batch of meters. Mine worked very will on my power supply that goes up to 27 volts. One last thing...are the 24 volt batteries you are measuring good batteries? The meter might be telling you that they are not. Hope this was useful. Also be aware that all meters have a percentage of error. Some are + - .1% + - .01%. No matter how expensive the meter it will have error tho very small. The smaller the error, the larger the price. These cheap but beautiful meters are good enough for battery monitoring. I wouldnt use them to build a computer power supply.

We have this test meter for our community well. We fluorinate according to the EPA guidelines. It works well when it is calibrated. You have to have the 1% fluoride solution and the tabs to calibrate the meter. We had the meter for about 4 months and the sensor went bad. The company replaced it immediately at no cost but with the wrong part. It took several weeks to replace it with the right part. It was on B/O for some time. Now that we use it daily I can get an idea of the level we need to be at. It's a field test and they are not 100% but close enough for what we need. When our levels were low the meter just gave a Lo code. It am not confident it would give you a zero reading you may be looking for.

Does not say on meter, instruction booklet says Made in China. Call this number and ask about it 800-435-0786
