[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1421184, member: 94045"] This is quite normal. All meters have to conform to the same ISO accuracy standards before they can be marketed, and basically this is they must be within 15% of the true value, either lower or higher 95% of the time. If your readings fall within this, they are fine. [URL]http://www.diabetes.co.uk/blood-glucose-meters/blood-glucose-meter-accuracy.html[/URL] There are also other considerations. Human error and strip error. We all get the odd rogue strip from time to time. Human error is normally because we haven't washed, rinsed and dried our hands before each test. To avoid confusion it is best to stick to one meter only. Put the other away to use in emergencies only. If your readings are within your normal standard, try to avoid re-testing, record the number and move on. If it is an unexpected reading, then yes, re-test. [/QUOTE]
