(I luv it....)
I now possess TWO meters and therefore have the retentive opportunity to test one against the other. Both AgaMatrix Meters. Just so you know, Meter 1 is Bluetooth and Meter 2 is not Bluetooth. Oh joy!
I carried out my tests within five seconds of each. The blood came from the same finger droplet also within five seconds of each.
Blue Control Liquid:
Meter 1 = 7.9
Meter 2 = 7.6
Blood Sample:
Meter 1 = 6.1
Meter 2 = 5.4
Are these the type of differences that can be expected and regarded as “normal”?
Can I accept 0.3 difference in the Control Liquid sample, but the Bloods? Would it be reasonable to suggest that with the Bloods the AVERAGE is therefore ≈ 5.7? In the future if I make these comparisons, notwithstanding a 0.1 mean overlap, should I DEDUCT 0.4 from Meter 1, but ADD the same, 0.4, to Meter 2?
If you’ve not yet pulled your remaining teeth out and you’ve got the inclination and have a spare moment, let’s discuss these immensely weighty matters.
