[QUOTE="Dexterdobe, post: 1715344, member: 454478"] Since I was diagnosed with T2 last November I've tested my BG with the SD Codefree meter. The test strips are £7.25 for 50; far less than any other make I have seen advertised, but a lot of users complain that the SD is inaccurate and reads up to 1 mmol higher than it should. I have read on this forum that many members who have their T2 under control, regularly see BG readings in the 5's. By contrast, my readings were averaging 6.9 and I only very rarely saw a reading below 6. I was convinced that the 3 month follow up HBa1c test would show that I was still well within the diabetic range, but I was pleasantly surprised when it came in at 42 (Down from 53 in November). I looked and found a conversion chart. 42 equates to an average mmol of 6.9, so it would seem that my SD meter is spot on or am I missing something? [/QUOTE]
