Answer 2

One Touch Vs Accu-chek

Answer 3

Well, I have neither but the Accu-Chek Active has been replaced with the Accu-Chek Aviva Plus system, you can upgrade for free. The Accu-Chek lancets are different from everyone elses and their lancets are 29 gauge so they are much thicker needles than the 30 and 31 gauge everyone else uses, the Accu-Chek lancet needles are square in cross section to bring out more blood. Unlike the Active, the Aviva Plus has a multi lancet lancing device so there is a barrel of lancets and you can only use each one once, I don't like these lancing devices because they are thick to hold the barrel and it blocks your view.



Most modern glucose meters can upload their data to your computer or cell phone but it's just as easy to type in your entries.



The OneTouch would be smaller but then the container of test strips becomes awkward in the case.



Many meters have a 2 hour reminder but some such as on the Accu-Chek Compact, are difficult to use.



I'd probably go with the Bayer Contour USB. The problem with the Contour is that it's so small, the test strip container is thicker than it is and bulges out the carrying case. However the test strip container is perfect for carrying sauces and salad dressing for your lunch once you're done with the strips.



Note if you're type 1 or insulin dependent, you may want to go with one of the two meters that can also measure ketones. The one gaining popularity is the Nova Max, the other is the Precision Xtra. I have the Precision Xtra but the ketone strips are double the price for the Nova Max, however the glucose strips coms in foil packs so they fold flat, you do wind up with a lot of wrapper garbage to toss away and the meter itself is a throw back to the coding days except you insert a coding key that you get with each box of strips. The coding key also does the diagnostic testing. The Nova Max looks like a kid's toy with its transparent case but the Precision Xtra is just annoying to use. To be truthful, you're better off with the ketone urine test strips.

Depends on what you want from the meter. The one touch ultra easy has the advantage of better design, there are more covers available to allow you to choose the color you like best and the one touch ultra test strips are easily available and have been available for many years.

The accu-chek active was one of accu-chek's main glucose meters but is a little old now. In some countries they are phasing this meter out and both the control solution and test strips may have availability issues in the future. For this reason you are better off with the one touch ultra easy.



If you want other meter options I would pick the latest meter that is available from accu-chek called the Accu-chek Mobile, this should "future proof" your meter for a number of years at least.



I hope this helps.

It would be a great game, but I would put my money on the Johnson-Wallace team. The team has Magic, who is arguably the best player in NBA history. He has the best leadership skills of any player on the list. All six players on the roster are All-Stars or are All-Star caliber (Gerald Wallace). Additionally, Ben, Gerald, and Rasheed are all solid defensive players. The only change I might make is adding Kevin Johson. He's a 5 time All-Star and 7 all-time on the career assist avg list. The team has all the bases covered. The O'Neal-James team is solid with Shaq and LeBron heading the list. Shaq may be the most dominant player in NBA history. He was essentially unguardable and any team with him on it would be a good one. Throw in LeBron and that is a very sick team. You could surround them with 3 NBA scrubs and that is still a scary squad. Jermain O'Neal was a sweet player when he was healthy and in his prime. However, the problem I have with this team are the James players not named LeBron. They are basically all NBA journeymen, that have built their careers on being backups and role players. The first team is just much more well-rounded with a higher caliber of player. If they played each other 10 times, I think the Johnson-Wallace team would take home 7 wins.

Answer 6

Both glucose meters are perfect. The only difference is the cost of their test strips, accu chek active test strips are cheaper that one touch ultra easy. So it depends on you if cost doesn't bother you then you can go with one touch ultra easy.

Answer 7

If you are living in India then Contact Medplus pharmacy people Or nearest Medplus shop ,(customer care 040 6674 3000 )they have one product called as ritecheck glucometer which will cost you only around Rs 800 and it comes with similar warranties like other glucometers ,strips are also reasonably priced ,and it seems the product is good.Why not try this out.

Otherwise get the bayer's contour -atleast it does not need coding and most pharma shops use this for checking sugar.Accu-check and onetouch -both needs coding which is cumbersome and strips are expensive in both of these.

Answer 8

Is this in their primes?? Shaq > Ben wallace Jermaine O'neal > Rasheed Wallace LeBron James > Gerald Wallace Henry James < Joe Johnson Mike James < Magic Johnson Jerome James < Larry Johnson So it's pretty even, but since Team O'neal-James dominates the boards and theyr bigs are a lot bigger and better than Wallace and wallace, I'm gonna go with them. But it's really tempting to pick Wallace-Johnson because of Magic. EDIT: hahahah well at least you got a good one. Who's next?
