[QUOTE="Goonergal, post: 2164992, member: 368709"] Just to add to what [USER=400972]@Rachox[/USER] said, all meters have a margin of error of roughly +/- 15%, so even testing twice from the same drop of blood may yield different results. I’m assuming that the units you specify can simply be multiplied by 100 to give mg/dl, then divide by 18 to get mmol. So your readings would be 127, 137, 147, 200 and 165 in mg/dl in mmol that translates to 7.1, 7.6, 8.2, 11.1 and 9.2 The first 3 are really not significantly different. To really understand their significance you’d need to know the readings 2 hours before you ate and 2 hours after. [/QUOTE]
