2012 Blood Glucose Meters

The blood glucose meter is a basic tool of diabetes management—and perhaps the most valuable one

The information gleaned from a pinprick of blood placed on a test strip inserted into the meter helps you prevent blood glucose highs and lows, and learn how diet, exercise, stress, illness, and other things affect your blood glucose levels. That knowledge is a powerful instrument in controlling your diabetes. But how can you know which meter is right for you?

Here's a guide, which is designed to help you sort through more than five dozen meters that were on the U.S. market as of Oct. 1, 2011.
