Hey guys!

Im currently using a medtronic/bayer countour link simply because it is handy as it is connected to my pump, but lately Ive been getting some pretty random results from them (I have two).

Both have been giving me stupidly different readings (eg low or high when I know Im not) so I decided to do multiple tests at the same time and the results varied from 3.5 - 18.2!!!

Obviously Ive lost all confidence in theses metres, and Im certain both are in perfect working order and under a year old so Im very confused!

Can anyone think of any reason this might happen, or failing that let me know which metres you have had both good and bad experiences with?

Many thanks and much love,
Keep strong D-Buddies! :)
