Can you use any kind of test strips with glucose meters or does the brand have to fit the brand of the meter?
Test strips are designed to work with the meter, therefore, the test strip must match the meter to get an accurate result.
There are few exceptions to this, for instance some accucheck meters can use multiple types of strips. Wavesense has a meter it has branded to Kroger, CVS and other stores and the strips fit these generic meters as well as Wavesense's "Presto" meter.
