[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2243051, member: 41816"] Hi and welcome! I think you need some home bg readings, so that you know what is what... :) it could be a faulty reading, or it could be that you aren’t using a big enough blood drop? Or it could be that you aren’t applying the blood drop to the test strip correctly? Those are pure speculation, of course. I should try googling your brand of meter to see if there are any tutorial, preferably video tutorials on using the meter. Don’t worry if you can’t find your exact make of meter - they are all very similar. As for what are good and bad readings, this page should help explain that.
