Hey everyone!

Doctors recently gave me a new meter and I don't really trust it. it seems cheap and I'm convinced it is giving me false readings.
Use to use accu check but been given a glucomen LX plus.

Any one use this meter? Is it any good?
 
I had issues with the glucomen meter it was giving me ridiculous false readings which resulted in the hospital giving me a new meter I would compare it with the hospitals meter the next time you go for a diabetes checkup just in case they are supposed to be accurate but I've had a bad experience with it not to say you will.

On a positive not it doesn't need much blood
 
I was given a glucomen LX plus. It's a good meter as it can test for ketones as well.

However, I was suspicious it was reading a little high. I bought an SD Codefree and I also have the Libre CGM.

The glucomen does read higher, but perhaps other folks have different results.
