So Word on FUD Street is Contour is the Meter to go with.... but why?

I’m reading all this back and forth about meters and kind of chuckling at how paranoid we all get about a 10% or 20% difference.

I read @Nickyghaleb 's question about pee tests and realized that pee tests gave me an insight.

Why are we so concerned with a Bg of 100 vs. a Bg of 120? They are virtually the same thing! What we need to stress about is being at 200 for six hours or being at 30 for a couple hours. Any meter will document that, and a CGM is even better. Evidently better than that is the Force.

Back to the pee tests. I did fine checking my urine twice a day. I’m doing much better now having it taken 255 times per day, but it’s the difference of having an idea vs. having a moment by moment trend.

What I’m trying to say is that what difference in the scheme of our management and disease does 20% really make?
