[QUOTE="Raygower, post: 1893820, member: 483242"] Your meter is working as well as one can expect. A 0.6 variance is well within reasonable expectations given a couple of hours gap, and stable conditions i.e. no meals or marathons. Whether it is accurate is another question. You don't say whether the 7.3 was your latest A1C (no comparison), another prick test (who says their's is better than yours?), or vein sample in an analyzer. The simple answer is probably not. Different meters use slightly different methods to get a result. Those methods seem to suit some people better than others. I know a Trividia consistently gives me results 20% below anything else, but it is not the case with a colleague, for whom the errant one is my Tee2 at 20% above. We both sort of agree with a Contour Next or an Abbott Jazz (borrowed from my friendly chemist). [/QUOTE]
