Was disappointed at first but I really like the Bayer Contour and actually prefer it over the others. A good reference is the Health section of consumer reports. They did a pretty good job of evaluating various meters. Bayer Contour came out pretty good. Not sure how the One Touch's did but I know that of the 4 that my insurance now covers the Bayer was ranked the most reliable and accurate (Freestyle Lite, Accuchek Aviva were two of the others). At the end of the day the best meter is the one that your insurance covers! I had a One Touch Ultrasmart and a Mini but had to switch because of insurance.

It is easy to use and does not require a big blood sample. When I see my endocronologist her nurse can take my meter and download information from it.
