[QUOTE="Ricky, post: 2506146, member: 27137"] I have just been sent a new (to me ) monitor because Abbott said my trusty[B] Freestyle Lite [/B]was out of date and they don't make them anymore. I was sent an [B]Optium Neo.[/B] I would be interested to know how anyone else has got on with this meter . This morning I tested my fasting which hasn't gone back down since a mild dose of covid in December although my HbA1c last month was 6.3 (45) on a low carb diet and 1 metformin 500mg. These were my results:- 1.The new strips that came yesterday from Abbott because I moaned that the ones I received in my prescription were reading too too high [B] 8.5[/B] 2,The one that I was complaining about [B]7.5[/B] 3. My “out of date " trusty freestyle lite meter [B]7.2 [/B] The day before at lunchtime :- 1) New replacement ones 6.3 2) Current ones that I was moaning about 5.5 3) Trusty freestyle lite meter 5.3 What do you make of these results? Which are correct? Does anyone use one of these meters? Thanks for reading. [/QUOTE]
