[QUOTE="Barrie14184, post: 1395951, member: 378236"] Well here's an update My accu check has provided me with consistency in its readings and when it told me that I was at 3.7 I did indeed start to suffer a hypo The care sense N was showing me three points above at 6.8 this was from the same drop of blood as a sample I had taken the care sense back to the diabetes clinic and they took it away they Then gave me a tee 2 Meter and I went home and tested them all together this is the results all taken from the same drop of blood at the same time Caresens n 8.8 tee2 9.5 accu check 7.3 now I get there will be a difference between the meters but this results in my opinion is way out and could be the difference between driving legal and not also being safe at work I called the helpline at spirit health care and got through to a rather snotty woman that insisted their meters were correct and that's that I asked her to explain why the Caresens N showed me 6.8 as the accu check showed 3.7 and indeed had a hypo and got the scripted answer we are confident out meters are correct I will not be using any of the NHS meters which are cheap and made in Korea. As opposed to the better made easier to use and in my honest opinion more accurate accu check There is something amiss in all of this [/QUOTE]
