I am in the process of switching glucose meters (from Accu-chek Aviva to Codefree) and over the last couple of days I've been comparing the two across a range of times. Hardly scientific, but I've found that the Codefree meter gives consistently higher readings.
Day 1
Fasting (early morning) CF = 5.4, Aviva = 5.0
Fasting (after 18hr fast ) CF = 5.3, Aviva = 4.4
post very low carb meal meal (2hrs) CF = 5.8, Aviva = 4.8
Day 2
Fasting (early morning) CF = 5.6, Aviva = 5.0
Fasting (after 18hr fast) CF = 5.4, Aviva = 4.9
2 hrs post low carb meal meal CF = 5.6, Aviva = 4.7
Of course, I prefer the Aviva readings, but is it likely they are less accurate? And in the end, does it actually matter?
Many thanks for any comments.
