[QUOTE="kkkk, post: 559581, member: 92533"] Just to add to the conversation the hospital have just recently move me onto the Glucomen - before I was on the Freestye insulinx (the one with the butterflies on the strips and many a recall!! but mine was all sorted out!). I'm not sure whether it is just bedding in time with the Glucomen and 'cos I wear a CGM but for me it feels further out from the CGM then the freestyle was- and so I often retest with the glucomen and from 2 different fingers yet at the same time I can get 2 readings out by 1mmol to .5 mmol on just the glucomen meter...and that is when my sugar level is in a good range so right on that 20% out mark...and if I compare it to my CGM it is often at that 20% range difference or slightly more - normally after 2 fingerpricks then one will be within the 20% range - I trust my CGM as how I feel and the CGM is seem to be generally consistent and I've had it longer and it worked well with the freestyle machine. So either psychological and blood machines need to earn my trust, or it's not as accurate as my previous machine or my feelings and my CGM are fairly inaccurate! If nothing else it tells you that no one system is perfect!! [/QUOTE]
