Research Notes on Best Glucometers


The best glucometer is one that best suits your needs and lifestyle. Often this means choosing a glucose meter that is quick and easy to use, as painless as possible, and requires minimal blood samples to test blood sugar levels. Because there are several types of glucometers available on the market today it might take some research and education to decide which meter is the best for you.1

Fast Facts:

  • According to the 2008 Consumer Reports, the OneTouch UltraMini scored excellent overall, and also scored the best for consistency.2
  • Meters can come with a back light for night time use.1
  • Some meters can record each test, which can then be downloaded and sent to your physician.1
  • If you are visually impaired then the best glucometer for you may be one with a large display or voice module.1
