Don't know what brand of meter you're using, but you may want to take a look at the FreeStyle Freedom Lite or FreeStyle Lite meters.  Dr. Richard Bernstein has been recommending them and says they're the only one's he's found to be tolerably accurate at near-normal blood sugar levels.  He rates the Bayer Contour a somewhat acceptable distant third place.  I used to use the Bayer.  I switched to the FreeStyle Freedom Lite and I tend to agree.  I found it to be very consistent.  If I get a reading of, say, 86, I can test it twice immediately thereafter and will get readings of like 84 and 88, no 95s or 77s like I might see on other meters after an 86.  Your insurance may pay for the Freestyle Freedom Lite strips.  If it doesn't and you don't mind paying out-of-pocket, the strips are relatively reasonable on eBay.  I just got a few boxes on eBay of 50 strips in vial with expiration date of 12/31/2019 for around $24 each.
