[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 1659382, member: 6467"] The reading of 9.1 seems reasonable considering the accuracy of the meter. The examples you give are 3 the same, 3 all different, and 2 the same and 1 different. In that context 2 the same and 1 different fits in with the general pattern and I would average them as usual. It is reasonable to wonder if you got 1 accurate (or high) reading and 2 low ones. Trying to measure post prandial rises is a lottery anyway. Your examples show a spread of 1.0 and 1.3 just from the same set of readings so trying to show that the 2 hour rise is at or less than 2 units can be very imprecise. I agree that taking 3 and averaging is a good approach, but I think that you should stick to that for consistency even where you get two results you like and one you don't.:) [/QUOTE]
