[QUOTE="searley, post: 2268173, member: 31377"] Trouble is who can say how accurate the consultants meter is?? At the end of the day they only use a meter and strips like us the only way to get a true result is a lab test... and even the meter that matches that now may not with the next pit of strips / weather change / humidity change / temperature change etc etc Accuracy for insulin is not such a valid reason because you get used to how much to take for what that particular meter reads I stick with 1 meter I know if it reads 11 that 3 units will bring me to where I need to be They work on a percentage of accuracy so the lower the number the closer to the actual value it will be Use 1 meter get used to it and don’t worry what other say or you’ll be checking and double checking the test if your life [/QUOTE]
