[QUOTE="tapcin, post: 140204, member: 25382"] I obtained an Accu Chek mobile from my WSH Diabetic Nurse, and commenced to use it, in tandem with the Accu Chek Compact Plus I have had for some time. Though they were both calibrated with the correct fluid, the readings from the Mobile were consistently higher, some-times by frightening amounts – once 20.8 on the Mobile, immediately, with the same sample, 9.8 with the Plus. I spoke to Roche, who were very helpful, and sent me a replacement. It was pretty much the same. I carried on the tandem tests until I ran out of tabs for the Plus and I can’t afford to buy them (I would like to carry on with that, but to ask the Surgery to provide two sets of testing strips seems unfair. They are very good, but there are limits) I spoke to Roche, again, and again they sent me a replacement, which I am presently using, but as far as I am concerned, it is just as bad. I bought a set of tabs from Boot’s, and can now check up, and today, fasting, the Mobile gave me 9.2, and the Plus, 4.5. The Mobile is a good idea, which seems to have been rushed too soon to market, and I am going to dump it, and go back to the Plus, simply because I have no confidence in the Mobile. Great idea, poorly im-pemented. [/QUOTE]
