I have received my new Mendor discreet. I was really pleased to get one and tested straight away. I hadn't long tested on my Bayer Contour and was surprised to see a big difference in readings. I used the control sample and it comes within range.
Today I tested using one large blob of blood on all three meters I have. Freestyle Optium, which I have as it tests for ketones tested 8.4, Mendor discreet tested 9.1 and my usual contour tested 6.6!!! This is a huge difference and I trust my contour as when it shows 5 and below I start to get hypo symptoms. Also my phone app is from these readings and is alwats under 8 recently and my hba1c was 6.8 down from 9.3. I am really disappointed as I really wanted to use the mendor as it seems so easy. Do I just subtract 2.5 from all it's readings?!!!
