[QUOTE="diabolic, post: 56912, member: 15533"] I have been using the Optium Xceed blood glucose monitor for some years. I recently had cause to doubt the accuracy of my meter so I borrowed the exact same model from a fellow diabetic and ran some tests. Both meters were calibrated with the same calibration strip and I took blood samples for both meters from the same test site. I tested both meters with Hi and Lo control solutions and they were both well within tolerance. The results I obtained from these tests which were carried out over many different days over a long period of time were quite alarming as the results varied by between 1% and very often over 20%. I thought that this might be a result of careless blood sampling on my part so I took great care to eliminate any errors on my part but I still got the same variation of results. A difference of 1% is probably acceptable but 20% is not and on occasion the difference has been even higher. I would be interested to here if anyone else has experienced similar problems. [/QUOTE]
