[QUOTE="catinahat, post: 2687375, member: 155453"] I have read that also but can't see why it would make much difference to an already inaccurate test. Would it make any difference If your watch was fast or slow by 5, or 6 minutes, you would still have a pretty good idea of the time. The only way to get a truly accurate blood sugar level is to get it tested in a lab. The best we can get from our meters is +/-15%. Maybe a squeeze does add a few percent to that figure but if the only way I can get a sample of blood to test is with a little squeeze, having some idea of where my levels are is better than not testing at all.
