Just recieved my new One Touch Meter and I must say that i'm very impressed with it...BUT...it is taking me on average 5 or 6 tries to get a result. On a couple of occasions it has taken at least 10 tries to get a result. I have tried many different ways of applying the blood to the strip (as per instructions) but still the same problem.
'fill strip error. Use a new strip'. Now, at this rate a box of 50 strips is going to last me a few days and at 20 quid a pop I don't think my GP is going to let me put a 'script in every 4 or 5 days.
Its a shame as I like the meter and its functions but this problem and i'm more than sure it isn't me (been testing for 25 years) thats messing it up pretty much renders the meter useless.
Just wondering if anyone has had the same problem ?
Back to the good old Acu-check for me. Reliable, easy to use and I DON'T have to to fiddle about getting the strips out of a small round container. Oh and it works every time.
The pic below is the result of trying to get a result. 10 attempts....
