[QUOTE="jgordon5, post: 430337, member: 84695"] My GP practice switched us all to the wavesense jazz. I was quite prepared to like it although it does not look or feel like a quality machine. I have brittle diabetes so although I have a very green diet, I still have very low hypos and very high hypers but I was totally unprepared for a reading of 30 from the wavesense jazz!! :?: I still had some old testing strips from my ultrasmart meter so took a test immediately and found it was 20 on that meter. Still way too high but not nearly as alarming as 30. This has happened several times and has then resulted in a swing to 1.6 because I gave myself more insulin than I needed. It does not feel good!! The worst thing is though that I keep getting error 4 messages whenever my hands are slightly chilly. Even if I rub the skin and rub my hands together, it still gives error 4 and as I walk a lot and need to know where I am blood sugar wise, this makes it pretty useless for me. I mean the temperature yesterday was 16 degrees, not exactly cold. What will it do, or not do, when the weather gets cold. In the meantime, Accu-chek supplied me with their new accu-chek mobile and looking online their test strips are only £2 more per 100 than the wavesense jazz so I'm now going to ask my practice if they will support that instead. Seemingly accurate results and so much nicer to use. Anyone have similar experiences? [/QUOTE]
