I think I answered my own question...
Did some research and this meter (made by Agamatrix) got top marks for accuracy (97% + or - 15%). Uses a different technology to read glucose level. Meter and strips are both very affordable. Meter is $8 and strips are $20 for 100 from Amazon, ADW and from Agamatrix site.
I looked at Relion, but my Walmart is always out of stock on things and currently don’t have the Prime and this one I can get strips from several sources, so worth a try!
