Anyone else notice a difference when testing in different places? For instance fingers on my left hand consistently read 0.2 - 0.4 mmol/l lower than my right and have done since I have been diagnosed.. Although there is no difference between fingers on the same hand..

Anyone else notice this or am I just odd??!
 
No it is not at all odd. Three tests from the same finger would usually give three different results as no matter how stringent the manufacturers are, all strips vary slightly. No manufacturer claims to be 100% accurate and a free or low cost home testing meter can vary + or - 10% in either direction which means there could be a variation of up to 20% between two strips from the same batch numbered pot.
