Thanks @daddys1 very interesting! I found the explanation of the chart, which says:
Basically, the 20 meters were all tested 10 times against a laboratory verified sample of 6.5mmol/l. The results above show that only 3 meters achieved a more accurate result (shown by the "bias" column) over the 10 tests but of these 3, only 1 meter achieved a more consistently accurate result (shown by the variance figures in the "VK%" column). In other words, of the 3 meters that had a more accurate result over the 10 tests, 2 of them had much greater variation of results (i.e. less consistency).
What these results essentially show is that the only meter that achieved more consistently accurate results than the SD Codefree Blood Glucose Meter was the Finetest system - a unit which, as far as we are aware, is not available to the general public and is only available to medical professionals.
These results also show that whilst the SD Codefree Meter will consistently give you an accurate result, some better known brands such as the Freestyle Lite and the Bayer Contour will consistently give you readings which are much lower than your true blood glucose level.
So it seems the Codefree is very good, accurate and consistent. I bet they didn't use batch 44 strips during the experiment! LOL
5.0 this morning. Lazy day today baked a bread, and made a steamed apple pudding..............will I enjoy eating ? .....what do you all think
Liver dump / dawn phenmenonFasting blood 4.9 at 06.15 today, then 6.1 at 08.00 just as I was about to have breakfast. Don't know what is going on there I'm sure
Hello All,
Hope you are all well and fitting fit.
I have seen the thread in fasting blood glucose, but was wondering what they are for only Type 2's.
Mine are between 4.5 and 6.0 depending on what I have eaten / drunk the night before.
Cheers

What a good ideaVis-a-vis remembering to order stuff when in UK; we run a shared spreadsheet (stored in a shared folder in Dropbox), with a few tabs on. Tabs include UK shopping list, Overseas shopping list, Home jobs and Paradise jobs. When we're in one place and think of something, we bang it onto the speadsheet for action or prioritisation.
The UK shopping list always has certain stuff on, like water filters and some essential oils we use as insect repellents, but it saves a lot of frustration, and works for us.
Mines Contour but my HbA1c was good. Will see how my averages for same period compareThat's not great news for someone with a Contour machine
Not maybe as much as you expect5.0 this morning. Lazy day today baked a bread, and made a steamed apple pudding..............will I enjoy eating ? .....what do you all think
Hmmm need to have breakfast earlier on my days off then.good job I'm an early riser anyway.Liver dump / dawn phenmenon
Ooh what bread did you make? I made some Swedish breakfast rolls today, um they didn't' quite look like the nice bread roll on the picture, more of a splat really.............5.0 this morning.

Splat bread .... sounds goodOoh what bread did you make? I made some Swedish breakfast rolls today, um they didn't' quite look like the nice bread roll on the picture, more of a splat really.............
Now 7.1
I haven't plucked up the courage to taste it yet.Splat bread .... sounds good
Have been reading a lot about the batch 44 strips. Is this the end of the lot number. If so think I have a pot of those. My lot number is S0314144. I've ordered another pot
Ah that could explain some of the readings I've been getting. It was 7.3 after breakfast this morning which consisted of bacon, egg, tomato and mushrooms. Not been that high before after that particular breakfast.im usually between mid 4s and mid 6s with the odd exception when I have eaten carbs.Yes, that is the batch number, and it is 44.
Only 7.1 for about an hour so I'm not too concerned.Yup, porridge did that to me too :-(
