[QUOTE="JohnEGreen, post: 2309514, member: 223921"] Most meters have a tolerance of accuracy of +/-15% this is the standard they are held to by regulations some are slightly more accurate also blood glucose is not homogeneous throughout the body that is there will be differences from say a sample taken from different fingers even within a short space of time so it is very unlikely that two readings taken even from the the same droplet of blood will be exactly the same. And if test strips are out of date even if the tub is unopened ditch them as they can not be relied on and get new strips that are in date. I to believe that remission does not mean cure remission can be long term but still not be permanent. [/QUOTE]
