[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 1195958, member: 196898"] Mu Codefree consistemtly reads a point or so above my NEO or my XCEED, but that is becaise they do have a slight difference in the way they are calibrated, but this is not the case between SD and Accuchek which have the same calibration I now have a similar problem. My Codefree today read 10.7, my NEO read 6.2. but both meet the calibration fluid test. That was 2 hours ago, and now the difference is only 0.3 mmol/l Same drop, no squeezing, adequate capilliary action, 5 seconds between samples max. washed site prior to pricking. Maybe a misread, but both meters at same room temp conditions. As pointed out, it is the change in reading on each meter that is important. and the average that matters for long term decisions. My HbA1c actaully lies midway between the average values of both meters sothey are both telling me a valid result, but not on a daily or instant basis. Just long term. If the difference is largr than, say, 2 mmol/l then it may be worth repeating the measurement. If worried about hypo then take the lowest reading and treat accordingly if getting hypo symptoms, or if checking before driving. Edit to update, my 4hr PP SD=6.1. NEO = 4.8, which is within the normal variance so I am not driving without a sweet first. [/QUOTE]
