I’m not sure if others have these problems but I have 2 nexus meters but I can’t seem to get an accurate reading. they both seem way too high. The other evening when taking a reading I was shocked to see that they were up at 19.5 . Two minutes later I double checked it was 17 the other meter showed 13 half an hour later they were down to 8.7 . Which for N evening is quite normal for me. This is not a one off it seems to give stupid readings all the time
Can anyone suggest a more accurate meter
 
I have finger pricked 1 finger and then checked it on another a few minutes later when it was high, and it was different. Don't do that often, but never sure how accurate it is. Just keep my fingers crossed.
I have a nexus too.
 
I can't recommend a meter, but I have a GlucoRx Nexus Mini Ultra & when I've had a reading I think is way too high, I've re washed my hands & the re test was a lot lower from the same finger prick. Just received a new GlucoRx Q, used it for the first time today, alongside the Nexus & from the same finger prick, nothing eaten since evening before & had only water, new was 6.2 & the old 7.4. Being over 5.5 they both come within the 15%. ATM, I preferring the new meter. ;)
