Hi everyone. I have a question about a new monitor I started using this morning. It is a Bayer Contour Next.
The question is, can different makes of monitors give different B S readings? why I ask is because just recently my readings in the morning have been between 5.0 and 7.2 but this morning it was 8.8. I then decided to leave out breakfast to bring that figure down but my next reading before dinner was 9.3. These figures are quite a lot higher than normal and I haven't changed what I eat. However, tonight before tea the reading was 6.8 which is still slightly higher than some of my previous daily readings.
Any Ideas?
 
i have 2 different makes of monitors and found testing on the same finger within seconds of each monitor did show a difference of 3
