Does anyone else use this meter?

For the past few days I've compared the readings with the SD Codefree meter, the Libre meter and the Libre sensors. I've found the Glucomen meter is reading between 1 and 1.5mmol higher than the others. Has anyone else found this?

Guess they give them to everyone in our area. I also have a One Touch Ultraeasy that reads about 1.5 to 2.0 mmol higher than the LX. Comparative errors are within the 20% error range when considering both together though.
 
I appreciate meters can vary by 15% to 20%, but the fact that my meters read that much lower, but your meters read that much higher is confusing to say the least. !!!

Absolutely. And I commented in a previous post that it makes a mockery of the DVLA rules.
