Hi, Just to say forum rules prevent us giving dosing advice. I agree with @Rachox , I’d ask the pharmacist.

Your meter will be the most accurate assuming your test strips are in date. I would check it again in a couple of hours and then contact abbot and ask for a replacement sensor if it’s still out.
