[QUOTE="Hellbunny, post: 384447, member: 46637"] I've also noticed this, i use the contour and the contour XT, i've tried various meters and always found they read higher/lower. I don't trust the mendor as i was hypo today, contour XT (which reads higher than the contour) said i was 3.1, mendor 5.6! Now thats a big difference! The insulinx reads similar to the contour XT. The verioIQ and bgstar read quite high. I don't know which one to trust but i generally stick with my contour XT as it sits in the middle, it recognises my hypos but doesn't give me wacky high readings. I've used the contour XT for a while now and when my hba1c was 5.9%, the readings somewhat fell into that, my readings were always under 7.5 and i do test alot! Sorry if thats aload of garbage :lol: generally the advice is use a meter and stick with it! But i'm wary of the mendor after todays performance :shock: [/QUOTE]
