I have been using my SD Codefree meter for a couple of years. It's my third one in a decade. It's been fine all the way along
The past couple months or so I have been having very high (for me) readings. Eg a 6 point difference between before and after readings. My meals haven't changed, so I assumed my diabetes is now out of control.
However, I am now wondering if it might be my meter. The test strips are in date and part of the same batch as before my reading went high.
I don't always go high, today, I had my usual tuna salad, and there was less than a point difference in before and after.
Any ideas? I don't want to take meds if it could be my meter. My hba1c hasn't changed for over a year. If I was often going into the teens, wouldn't that show on my hba1c last month?
