[QUOTE="woollygal, post: 2348876, member: 489059"] So just before Xmas my surgery changed my testing meter, i went from Gluco Rex mini to the true metrix air. The new one is very swanky, has an app and Bluetooth and all sorts. But I am getting wildly different test results. As an example tonight my old meter was 7.5, same finger new machine 10.8. Some have been very similar and I think once I even got the same. But I have no idea how to manage this. So with tonight’s results my food was fine on old machine on new one it’s way too high, Overall the new machine tends to be higher. It’s making testing a mockery because what is the point in testing if the results can’t be trusted. How can I monitor food and the effect it has on me and try and control my diabetes if the blooming machines are all over the place. is this normal? Do I need to go back to the drs? Seems a bit silly and trivial to bother the surgery when there is so much other important stuff going on at the mo. [/QUOTE]
