[QUOTE="Robbity, post: 1160221, member: 93179"] Your blood's circulating all the time so glucose levels will be fluctuating too. 6.4 and 6.9 are [I]not[/I] all that different, and your 9.3 reading could have been as already suggested, a rogue reading. So don't be too quick to blame your meter for apparent anomalies, as there are many more possible reasons that you could see (sometimes even dramatic) changes in levels. It's always worth thinking about what could have caused such a jump, and washing hands and re-testing to check. If you're getting sore fingers, you should be able to change the depth settings on your lancing device - there should be an optimal level where you get a decent drop of blood without it hurting (too much). Try lower settings and work your way up. Robbity [/QUOTE]
