My recent purchase of this meter came with 10 free test strips so I put them to the test for precision of the meter with the control solution. I have found that the results are reproducible. If you’re adamant about accuracy, you’ll want to look at the meters Agamatrix sells directly: the Keynote, Presto and Jazz meters. Indeed, Sanofi said they chose Agamatrix as the developers of their new iBGStar because of the company’s WaveSense technology, which is believed to be more accurate with hematocrits (remember, the volume percentage of red blood cells in blood). I’ve been told by several people in the industry that Agamatrix’s meter and strips are closer to within 10% of a standard lab test. Read this interesting article about a lady who compared a lot of meters against each other. That means that a level of 100 could read anywhere between 80 and 120. Glucose meters are required to be within 20% accuracy. It has all the same sensing technology but can’t hold and manipulate as many data points. They now make a lower cost version, Presto. If you go to Kroger it will be the Premium Kroger store brand. WaveSense Jazz is now sold under various store brand names. For those who don’t want an implant but want an actionable glimpse of how they respond to foods, this is a great option. It’s small, simple to use, and incredibly consistent, as it accounts and corrects for environmental factors. This is, by orders of magnitude, the best glucometer I found. In that book, he says that he had tested a lot of meters and the best one was WaveSense Jazz by AgaMatrix. If you’ve read “The Four Hour Body” by Tim Ferriss, you know that he has done a lot of self experiments with dieting and monitoring his blood glucose levels. Below are my personal results for repeatability which are much better than the FDA’s standards. The accuracy is the most important quality. That’s why you’ll see in the report, Up & Up instead of Presto.
Target sells it under the name “Up & Up” and Kroger sells it as their Kroger brand. Aga Matrix sells the Presto meter to retail stores such as Target and Kroger who sell it as their particular store brand. (You need to be a subscriber to see the report). Why Aga Matrix’s Presto Glucose Meter Is a Great ChoiceĬonsumer Reports rated it the “Best Buy” in it’s 2013 comparison of 25 blood glucose meters.
