[QUOTE="Estragon, post: 2367106, member: 514877"] ([I][B]I luv it....[/B][/I]) I now possess [B]TWO[/B] meters and therefore have the retentive opportunity to test one against the other. Both AgaMatrix Meters. Just so you know, Meter 1 is Bluetooth and Meter 2 is not Bluetooth. Oh joy! I carried out my tests within five seconds of each. The blood came from the same finger droplet also within five seconds of each. [COLOR=#0080ff][B]Blue Control Liquid:[/B][/COLOR] Meter 1 = 7.9 Meter 2 = 7.6 [COLOR=#ff0000][B]Blood Sample:[/B][/COLOR] Meter 1 = 6.1 Meter 2 = 5.4 Are these the type of differences that can be expected and regarded as “normal”? Can I accept 0.3 difference in the Control Liquid sample, but the Bloods? Would it be reasonable to suggest that with the Bloods the AVERAGE is therefore ≈ 5.7? In the future if I make these comparisons, notwithstanding a 0.1 mean overlap, should I DEDUCT 0.4 from Meter 1, but ADD the same, 0.4, to Meter 2? If you’ve not yet pulled your remaining teeth out and you’ve got the inclination and have a spare moment, let’s discuss these immensely weighty matters. [/QUOTE]
