[QUOTE="andcol, post: 1783544, member: 96315"] I produced a tolerance graph some years back for people to understand the allowable variance. Remember that only 95% of readings have to fall within the tolerance so you can still get outliers [ATTACH=full]26607[/ATTACH] Looking at the graph and 9.2 and 5.9 seem to be outside of the tolerances. However if 9.2 was at the top of the tolerance then you would have a real value of 8 and 5.9 and the lower end of the tolerance is 7 Did you take these readings at the same time. The body can reduce your BG level by 1 mmol fairly rapidly so you could have just been unlucky you caught two extremes [/QUOTE]
