Message: <blockquote data-quote="Deleted Account" data-source="post: 1719341">As [USER=446715]@Boo1979[/USER] mentions, the standard for a BG meter is a 15% accuracy. Newer meters are not necessarily any more accurate.In the example you have given, if your BG is actually 7.3 (if you had a super dooper mega accurate meter available ... which would probably be the size of an original mobile phone brick), both readings are within 15% of this. However, as the accuracy is a percentage, this means the variation should be less when you have lower figures close to  hypo.Therefore, as long as you stick to one meter, you should be ok.</blockquote>
