Message: <blockquote data-quote="DaveNN" data-source="post: 341739" data-attributes="member: 54802">Cheers for this sir!Whilst tolerances are expected, it would appear that a shop bought meter or even a result from a lab can "condemn" someone to being classed as diabetic.....when the figures are on the cusp.The more that I learn about this condition ( considering that my aged mum and her late dad are/were diabetic) the more I believe that it is a black art!I've been reading a review on my meter earlier, the reviewer ( who had 1st dibs on a unit prior to release) suggest that it can be as much as 20% out!  that is frightening! That said, the readings were always on the high side- which for me is ok( so far)- but could be a 'mare for an insulin user.I'm doing a 14 hour fasting test tomorrow morning, lets see what it comes up with.</blockquote>
