[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 586060, member: 41816"] Hi And welcome. Because of the + or - variation possible on any meter, they are far more useful for mapping trends, and checking on your bodies individual reaction to foods. I think meter accuracy is FAR more important for type 1s because they use the readings to inform their medication doses. In your situation, I think it doesn't matter which meter you are using, so long as you are consistent. For instance, don't use one meter for your pre-meal test, then another for your after-meal test. Do you map your readings (there are many Apps out there that do this? This is a fantastic way to spot the trends, and if you match it with a food diary, then it really starts to be useful... But individual readings are of very limited value because of all sorts of variable (exercise, fat content, stress levels, tiredness, etc.). [/QUOTE]
