Needing some urgent advice . Been using my One touch Verio to take my BS for years same machine . Had a couple of these Rachel yogurts last night and as I don’t test very often and the machine didn’t work a while back but rather than get new batteries I fiddled about with the current and got it going again , anyway I tested myself 2hours , 4 hours , 6hours & and 8 hours after eating and like getting 10.5 then 9.7 then once or twice 7.8 & 7.9 then 10.5 exactly again ?

I’m a diet controlled diabetic and normal readings are around 5.8 , can anyone make head or tail of this ?

How many carbs were in the yoghurt?
Have you checked the use by date of your teststrips?

Are your normal readings fasting numbers or taken after eating?

Hi Antje

Ex 23/10 strips use by date , 12.3 Carbs of which sugars 12.1g x2 , I take readings before and after eating and are normal when I eat the right thing of course but never seen these readings so long after ,was diagnosed 8 years ago not had meds for years , hopefully it’s the old verio that’s gone faulty?

I would change the batteries, use control solution if you have any and try again if the same then maybe get a new meter.

It was the frigging machine , probably the battery . Bought a Sure Smart 5.1 straight away , the old verio was 9.7 wow very faulty
