Hi, I'm pre diabetic and for the last few months have been working hard to loose weight and get fit in the hope of stopping it developing into type 2. I was using an accu check aviva to monitor my levels and see which foods are good and which to switch or avoid. At the start my morning readings were between 6 and 6.9 I have changed my diet to very low carb and now walk 5 days a week for 30 mins. I stopped checking my blood as the strips were expensive but then bought a Codefree and strips after seeing a link on this site. I was really expecting to see some good results and to my horror they were worse. I have been using the monitor for a month and yesterday decided to get some strips for the accu check. Today I did a test on both before breakfast and the accu check measured 5.2 and the codefree 7! My post dinner ones also vary a lot. I know meters can vary but that's a big varience. Now I'm in a quandry wondering which is correct!
