Hi all,
Hoping for some help/advice
Was diagnosed T2 July this year, was given a Contour TS monitor to monitor blood glucose. Few weeks later I won a Contour NEXT. I’m not overly active on taking bloods but it is there as a reassurance if I feel unwell. Tried for NEXT test strips on prescription but told too high cost and would only be given to T1 as special request. So will consider buying those myself. However I have today taken my bloods on both machine. One puncture fed to both test strips.
NEXT-15.5
TS -16.9
Washed hand and repeated half an hour later same one puncture fed to both strips
NEXT-15.5
TS - 14.6
How can the results vary so much? Both brand new when I got them.
TIA
