Firstly there are some worrying replies on here, with claims being made that have no evidence from those making the claim. What tests have they carried out to ensure any product they have used is accurate. There is a big difference between a Laboratory study costing millions and that done in someone's bathroom
Also as some people have stated, there is the human error side. Have hands been washed APPROPRIATELY. We're the strips used correctly?
Also your blood is different all round your body
There is a clinical paper called Freckmann that is an independent analysis of several blood meters - however it is now rather old
Blood glucose meters are supposed to have results to within 15% of a hospital analyser - there is another parameter for lower end results. However not all meters have in the past met this criteria.
