Hi Emmerdale

Quite a few threads on the topic of repeated testing with same or different meters

Jist is - Don't do it , it'll will send you mad - there are accuracy tollerance on the same meter (so you may get different reads at same time with the same meter ) then add in the variances of a 2nd meter :crazy: :crazy:

Try to stick to 1 meter, test once 2 hours after food - you will know when you get a 'weird' reading, re-try it to see if you get a more normal (what you expect from your usual reaction to certain foods) reading, if not consider if there was a 'hidden carb' in that meal.
