I am type 2, I'm not on any medication.
I use both the SD Code free and the CareSens Dual to monitor my BG levels.
A lot of the time, I test with both.
And there is consistently at least 1mmol/L difference in their readings.
With the SD Codefree giving me the higher reading.
Anyway, I started a fast last night. 14hrs in, I began to feel light headed, headachy, wobbly
(Hypo.....had struck.In my younger days I used to get a lot of hypos, when I restricted calories to lose weight)
At 18hrs into the fast, It was driving me nuts.
I then decide to end the fast and have a meal.
I had a big meal. low carb high fat, reasonable protein.
90mins later I am still feeling the Hypo.
I test and the readings from both BG monitors are as follows
SD Codefree 5mmol/L
CareSens dual 3.9mmol/L
My take away lesson is that finally I now know that the most likely BG monitor to have given me an inaccurate reading will be the SD Codefree, considering how hypoglycemic I feel.
