[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1536804, member: 94045"] Yes, they do vary a lot. A couple of years ago there was one batch of Codefree strips that many on here noticed an apparent increase in levels. Some of us informed Home Health about this, and they took it on board, did lots of tests, asked the manufacturers to do tests, etc. In my case they sent me some tubs from another batch number and asked me to do some comparisons. If I recall correctly, it was put down to them having been shipped to the UK in very cold weather. That is one extreme example, but there are many other examples in my personal experience. Not only between batch numbers, but also between tubs. For that reason I always recorded when I changed to a new tub and when I changed to a new batch number. (I use the past tense because I went back to my Accu Chek Mobile for its convenience and consistency and no longer use Codefree) [/QUOTE]
