[QUOTE="RoseRodent, post: 166125, member: 28905"] [b]Re: Contour USB accuracy doubts 3 days in compared to Accu-c[/b] Personally I find that Accu-Chek reads very high, so maybe the Contour is the one that is correct? Doesn't sound like it, though, at such a low reading as that. I was having a panic that I was doing something seriously wrong and my BG was going seriously off the rails till someone told me how inaccurate these meters are allowed to be. I changed to a Lifescan Vita and it seems much more in keeping with readings from my old Bayer and in keeping with the way I feel, and I'm so incredibly much happier feeling secure that my readings are not really that high! You have to feel confident in it, if you do a reading and you don't believe it then you aren't going to take the right action you're just going to shrug it off. Of course there is the usual "never change your treatment regimen based on just one reading" thing, but for those of us who have to self-fund strips we don't want to do a repeat reading then a control reading then another repeat cos that's a lot of money spent on one reading.
