Hi Mimi again I use the access check and as said before I am confused.between the reading.would i better to change to a monitor which reads both hbl and blood levels and can you get such a machine
 
Hello @Mini24 All blood glucose meters have a variance factor so perform the same test twice and you will get different results, it doesn't matter which finger you use either, however make sure your fingers are clean prior to testing. I personally do one test at a time rather than multiple tests for this reason and go by this one result.

Do you mean HbA1c not hbl ?
