I have 3 glucometers at home..Two of them are reading within a couple Mgs of each other..The other one is way High..My daughter is also diabetic and lives with us..She has a glucometer that is the same as the one that I have that reads very high...However her test strips are from a differant Batch #...And her meter with the differant test strips reads Fine..In addition her test strips in My meter reads fine..Do you have control solution for your meters..? as this can help verify if the Meter / test strips are AOK...?

If they are within 20% of each other then both are correct

I get control solution from Amazon.....You will need the brand of Glucometer in order to find the compatible solution.....It can be had in two..sometimes even three levels...Not too pricey either.
