Blood Sugar Monitor issue

Hi everyone new on here and wanting to ask if anyone else has had this issue.
I was using a code free monitor but upgraded to accuchek mobile. All going well sugars are in normal ranges. I checked my sugars earlier and it said I was at 3.9mmol. For whatever reason I thought I will double check as I thought it impossible to get a hypo with diet controlled type 2. Well the cod free read at 4.7! I thought ok well I’m feeling ok so leave it. I have just done my blood sugar again only this time it read 3.6mmol on the accuchek and 4.1mmol on the code free. Same puncture isedv2 drops of blood to try and make it a fair check.
Please help, has anyone else had this issue at all?? Not sure which reading to trust. Thank you
 
That's why most of us just get one meter and stick to it. Blood sugar levels are in constant flux and meters can give different readings from the same samples. Don't stress about it.. all the readings are in the "very good" range. just pick a meter and use i for trends rather than absolutes. I only tend to double check if I get a reading that is way off like an 8.5 when expecting a 5. something like I did a couple of weeks ago.
