[QUOTE="JanieMc, post: 1869996, member: 52138"] I suspect not. I’m really fed up of hearing how the Contour Next has been tested as the most accurate for results. Mine also runs 2 or 3 mmol higher than my other 3 machines that I still have testing sticks for. Most interestingly, I was in hospital for surgery last week. I took three testers in total including the Contour next. However the hospital was also using its own machine just because that’s the one they trust. I’m not too worried which one they want to use but I was horrified to find that every single time, the Contour next ran higher by 2-3 mmol. All of the other machines agreed on readings within 1 mmol. Now I’m back at home. This morning my reading off 2 other machines was 6.3 and 7.1. The Contour read 12.1. That’s a massive difference. To correct or not to correct, that’s the problem now. Which is the most dangerous? I’ve been doing this for 45 years and I know that I don’t go hypo at 5.2. I do at 3ish which is what my other readings came in at. I’m really tired of being given the simplistic answer that my other machine must be at fault. What, all three? And the hospital one too? I don’t think so. I do think that I don’t trust the Contour next. The self test liquid showed that it was performing in range. It seems that there is nothing I can do to make anyone listen. [/QUOTE]
