- Acceptance of health treatment claims that are not adequately supported by evidence. I dislike it when people sell ineffective and even harmful alternative health products to exploit the desperation of people with chronic illness.
This can happen with any meter and it doesn't necessarily mean there is a fault. I just rely on one test at the time unless the result is hugely different to what I was expecting. Sometimes washing your hands first gets a more accurate result.

Percentage tolerances are specified by all manufacturers of meters & test strips for results.
Check that immediate sequential tests from the same large drop of blood are within the percentage allowed for that particular meter. If not, try new pot of test strips. No improvement..? then it's time for a call to the manufacturer - replacement of the meter.
It clearly states in the micro-print of the user guide in each strip box that no major clinical decisions must be taken from a single strip test. It follows that several will give you an average to determine your state of BG health at that particular point in time.
Carpe diem.

You have to give time between each blood test and if possible mainly before breakfast, Lunch, Tea and before bed.
