[QUOTE="AndyS, post: 537814, member: 20775"] When they tried to "force" me onto it I kicked up a bit of a fuss and got them to agree that I could trial it first. First off the size was just way to inconvenient but I tested every time with an Optium Exceed which I had at the time. The Optium was pretty consistent but I saw a variance of +-2mmol/l on the same blood sample (at around 5-6mmol) with different strips. Even the test solution was inconsistent to that level. For me +-2 is more or less +-1UI and since I want to keep as accurate as possible it just was not acceptable, I did point out to them that I felt it also fell outside of the required 20% error margin too.
