[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 201007, member: 17713"] A few things jump to my mind-have any of your lots of meds changed? I only say this as I know my levels change dramatically when my meds change -but then again...mine will change all day and not just after meals.... Do you carb count or carb estimate or neither? Only reason I ask is the 2 slices of bread for me works out at 36g CHO not 90g-but unsure whether that was the weight of the bread you mentioned-or the qty of CHO you thought it was.....bread can raise postmeal levels...that's why some people use Burgen. Did you have bread again today? Personally, I wouldn't blame the meter- it wasn't way different to your old meter's readings on your original post with levels. I have had many, many meters over the years and can honestly say I have never had one that hasn't been within the tolerances. Finally, like Jopar mentioned and I have experienced personally, are you 1005 sure your hands were clean. I even keep a packet of wet baby wipes in the car to ensure that my levels are 100% accurate and always wipe my hands with them prior to testing and driving. Haveing had a reading of 15+ when I was actually hypo and was testing because I felt rough,,,I can never do enough to ensure my hands are clean now...probably got OCD because of that incident!!!! I honestly don't suspect the meter, but it could be possible I guess, just that I have had I would guestimate at 20 meters in 26 years and never had one that I would doubt...it has always been my fault!!!!
