Shaking badly so did bg test and was amazed at13.4 so grabbed my spare meter and retested 11.2 so clearly not hypo but quite a difference between readings 1 min apart ,any thoughts? :?:
 
BG meters have an accuracy tolerence of + or - 10%, and no two meters will ever give an identical reading, so the difference you describe is not unusual. The important thing is to always use one meter then you will always get a consistent reading whether that is slightly higher or slightly lower than a different meter.
