[QUOTE="Tirianne, post: 972772, member: 196322"] Yes- I've had odd readings just after washing my hands -so I make extra sure that my hands are clean and really dry before testing. I also have several meters (for price of test strips and convenience for when I go out so I have one in my bag) and just when I think one of these meters is consistently higher than the other two, then it can change. I've even tested with the same drop of blood by 'priming' 2 of the meters -so the test can only be seconds apart - and sometimes there's a discrepency of almost a whole point and at other times they're almost identical. I suppose it just goes to show that this is not an exact science and that as long as you test regularly with one meter and take the 14 or 30 day average -you'll have a good idea of whether BG levels are within the required range. Hope that's useful. [/QUOTE]
