Hi All
Newbie, just been diagnosed a week Apologies if this has been asked before.
So when I was diagnosed last week we immediately bought an Exactive Easy monitor. Nice and easy to use, and the results that I got tied in with the readings I was getting in hospital. Happy days.
So being a bit of a geek I started looking at the different monitors and bought the WaveSense JAZZ Bluetooth monitor.
When it arrived I tested it but was surprised that it was around 10 mmol/l higher than the Exactive Easy Monitor.
Using the WaveSense I then tested three samples from the same drop of blood and they were (about) the same reading. Did the same with the Exactive Easy monitor and again got 3 similar readings, but 10-12 mmol/l lower than the WaveSense.
So, Is this normal, and which one should I trust (loosely speaking!)
Many thanks
Pete
