I have been using an Accu-Chek compact meter for over five weeks testing regularly each day. Recently a friend gave me an Accu-chek Aviva meter together with a supply of strips. So this morning I decided to check the readings provided by both meters. The before midday meal readings were;
Accu-Chek Compact 5.5
Accu-Chek Aviva 6.1
I'm puzzled as to why there is a discrepancy. Both tests were taken within seconds of each other. Furthermore what am I to read into this? Is one meter reading too low or on the other hand is the other meter reading too high? I am really considering switching totally to the Aviva meter mainly becuase I can get strips free making a considerable cost saving over the Compact.
Anyone any thought to offer on this?
