[QUOTE="Gudrun, post: 527454, member: 103109"] Thank you all for your replies and input. It is very interesting. I can understand some variation between meters, but while it is not THAT important to me (no medication), for someone who has to adjust their meds according to the reading a big variation of readings can make their adjustments rather difficult (and potentially the impact of the medication less effective). I have tried to take blood without squeezing my finger. Washed the hands in warm water, let the arm hang down, pricked myself and nothing happened. As I said, I've got thick skin. I massaged the finger downwards and finally managed a tiny drop. Enough for a reading of 5.0 (AccuChek). Then had a banana with Quark, 1 crispbread with pate and one hour later it was 6.1. I'm happy with those readings. I'll stop comparing meters now. No good getting too confused. Will use the AccuChek strips until they've gone and then move over to the Codefree. [/QUOTE]
