Patsy, yes! When I was first diagnosed I ended up with 3 metres (one from the Dr, one from hospital and a freebie from somewhere or other). I have checked at the same time with all 3 (experimenting) and the differences were between 1 and 3 mmol's difference. I tried again and it was the same and sometimes the same meter was the highest then the lowest, so even the same meter can differ.
