Had porridge today 1030am
1st Reading 6. 2
2nd Reading 3. 0
Could the 2nd one be wrong
 
Do I need to get some testing solution .
Do the test strip go out off date?
 
Your readings are meaningless without stating when they were taken in relation to the food. The reading of 3 was obviously unexpected, did you recheck it?

Strips do have an expiry date which will be marked on the pot, then aside from that date, they shouldn’t be used after a certain length of time from opening, that too will be written on the box or the pot.
 
1st reading 1030 when I had the porridge second reading was at 1230.
 
The 12.30 reading could have been wrong, or it may not have been. If there's a reading that is unexpected, it's always best to wash your hands and retest, bearing in mind meters only have to be accurate to +/- 15%.
 
Just got the tester so need to get more test strips. I had some trouble with the second test.
Do every body retest their meter with
testing solution .
 
Not all of us have to. My meter (not a Go Navii) is nearly 5yrs old and has yet to show any unexpected result when used with within date test strips for that model of meter.
I have seen some values which I was not sure about, but a 2nd test - re-wash hands, new blood drop new test strip, has always been close to the same reading.
