[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 884563, member: 30007"] All meters are subject to a 15% tolerance, which means that both are likely to be correct as at the first reading, the range of possibilities for the Aviva is 6.7-8.9 and the Code Free is 7.6-10.2. Based on the overlap, of the two, it would suggest that your bg level was somewhere between 7.6 and 8.9. I would tend towards the Accu-check being closer to the "truth" based on "accuracy" tests I've seen, but as you see, neither is necessarily spot on! There are test solutions of a specific glucose level that can be obtained from the vendor to calibrate your readings, but it's quite rare for there to be a big difference. [/QUOTE]
