9am. Take your pick from:
GlucoRx-Q: 6.1
Tee2+: 7.8
Libre: 9.4

The first two taken from the same blood sample. Let's say I'm really a 7, then that's a 13% underread by the GlucoRx-Q and an 11.5% overread on the Tee2+. Both fairly close to the 15% error tolerance, and neither a sound basis for monitoring your sugar levels.

The last one has randomly spiked from just below 6, in the space of about an hour. No food so far, this morning (unless toothpaste counts.)

Bear in mind that my HbA1c is consistent with an average blood of 6.5, I think I trust the GlucoRx-Q over the other two. Currently still on the 10 sticks that came included with the Tee2+. meter Perhaps they're an iffy batch, and readings will improve when I open a new pot.
