Anyone Else having trouble with the new Accu- Chek Mobile?

i also told the nurse I supplemented with another meter, self funded. Anyway, so far, it hasn't been blocked. I saw the doctor week before last and told her too. She never said she would stop the prescription. I can get 250 strips for £25 for the Codefree by using promotional code on manufacturer's site. Your supplier sounds good too. Might check it out. Dr V.G. Is with the castle group and it says she has an interest in diabetes. Dr F also has an interest. Don't know if that makes a difference and I don't know what their views are on LCHF either.

I had same meter and was experiencing exact same problem hence I now have a Contour Next USB meter and it's very accurate. Some of my readings with Accu Chek Mobile were saying I was experiencing hypo's when I fact I was between 7-8 m/mols and given me even higher readings when I was Hypo, my advice is steer clear of that meter as they are obviously having some teething troubles with it as there is more than me and you complaining of this meter in this forum.
 
 
The meters are working perfectly fine for me. Maybe you hit a bad batch of test cartridges or meters. I had a problem with one old meter and they replaced it right away. But it had been sat in the box unused for 2-3 years.
 

HI
Only had mine a couple of days and when I used it last night I had a reading of 16. Mine has never been anywhere near this figure before.. I tried doing a test on it twice but each time error E3 came up.. I am a newly diagnosed Diabectic so I am not sure what to do?
 
I wrote about this in January and no one else had had any problems - I just received messages telling me how to use my meter which was bit of an insult as I have been using these meters for years. I contacted Roche in January and they told me they had been having problems with the cassettes and were investigating. I was getting 30% failed tests which adds up to a lot. The strips I get from ebay always seem to be ok it is the ones I get from my surgery that have been my problem. Roche asked me to return faulty cassettes and they sent me a couple of 50's which hardly made up for what I had lost but I have still been having problems but not to the same degree. Sometimes it can take me 5 tests before I get a result and my fingers are very sore.
We must contact Roche if we have problems - these strips are very expensive and Roche are making a lot of money on them. My local chemist cannot buy them as cheap as I get them from ebay!!
 
I use the Accu-Chek mobile meter and have had no problems with it. I barely get any failed tests, maybe 2-3 per 50 strips. And I always find my meter is accurate. It's strange that a lot of people have these problems and I haven't run into any of them.
