[QUOTE="searley, post: 2247257, member: 31377"] Meter will never agree they are not lab grade so have a tolerance of 15% This is even seen on the test pots when doing a control test I have a Bayer pot here if I do I control test and get anywhere between 18 and 23 it’s considered correct The good news is that 15% of a smaller number is a smaller difference You could take the same meter and do a test 2 minutes apart and get quite different numbers Not to forget contaminants can have an effect washing hands some people use alcohol wipes which can effect numbers Meters are only intended as a guide on what you glucose is doing.. Choose 1 meter and stick to it [/QUOTE]
