[QUOTE="searley, post: 2349197, member: 31377"] The lower the number the more accurate they should be ... you manage you bg both by the meter and how you feel.. because who says the new meter is wrong and not the old one?? So you pick one stick with it.. if you get the the point of having a hypo with a bg of 5 then there is a fault with the meter.. if however you are OK its probably not too far off At the end of the day you are never going to get lab results from a home meter.. the are simply to give an idea of what going on to help you manage If you start obsessing you'll star heading down a slippery slope.. I have over 30 meters here and almost none agree with each other You other option is to simply obtain a better quality meter the has been proven to conform to all the required standards like the contour next one.. but you'll pay more for strios [/QUOTE]
