[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1060207, member: 94045"] All meters sold in the UK have to comply with regulations that say they must fall within a plus or minus 15% accuracy. None of them is 100% accurate. Unless you need an accurate reading in order to inject the correct units of insulin, it matters not. Worry not about the numbers, stick to one meter and keep the other locked away as a spare. Just look for trends, up or down, using that one meter. You will always get rogue readings with any meter, maybe a faulty strip or user-error. If a reading is well out of your normal range for that time of day, test again another 2 times to confirm matters. Then if 2 of the readings are close and are within your normal range, accept it, record it, and move on. If not, average them and move on. Not much else you can do. ;) As a PS the Codefree generally reads higher than the AccuChek Mobile. I can't speak for the Aviva. [/QUOTE]
