I've used over, 300 strips on the codefree, it disagrees with my other two meters that are always close to each other on at least 75% of checks.@Jamesuk9 I have just done a random test using the same blob of blood.
Tee 2 - 5.8. Accu-chek Nano - 5.8
Might be a fluke, but very interesting.
Interesting, as I always find the Accu check mobile a bit light. On your above post I got the Tee2 (nothing to lose really) the Tee2 and SD codefree using same blob of blood has given me near identical figures (6.1 and 6.2) I will continue to use the 2 in tandem for a few daysI just tried out my codefree again this morning. 5.9 on tee2, 5.8 on accu mobile and 6.9 on the codefree.
Again reinforces my opinion that isn't accurate.
So, the meter and 250 strips were a complete waste of money imo.
I do not want to identify trends, I'd just like a better level of accuracy which just doesn't seem possible with the codefree.
In the bin it goes.
There is of course every possibility that it could be test strip related and not the actual meter.Interesting, as I always find the Accu check mobile a bit light.

This is exactly my experience too. I do not get this variation with the tee2 and it is always in line with my accucheck.After reading this thread i too have ordered the Tee2 and await delivery. I have found the code free a bit hit or miss lately , each new pot of strips seems to read different from the one before. I have tested this opening 2 pots and testing same drop of blood on a strip from each pot and having reading of say 5.8 on one and 7 on another.
Spirit healthcare will give you the Tee 2 meter for free, lancets, test solution, lancet gun, spare batteries, pc lead, 10 strips, pc software, all of it for FREE. The strips are then £7.75 for 50. Not quite as cheap as the codefree but a lot more accurate in my opinion.
Not had any setting up to do on my Tee2
An all day breakfast jumped up and I ate the lot!todaybg 10.7, god your funnyHi @Granny_grump_ my setting up is opening the box
Two two reading just to see the difference Cogefree 6.3 Tee2 5.4 it must mean something, perhaps it was the mars bar I eat between tests(only joking
I had a nightmare last night a giant custard doughnut was chasing me
I have one for myself but Geoff has rarely seen a doctor in the 37 years we have been together,lucky so and so and he wouldn't demand but I would, I have to go and see the doctor in a few weeks and I will do it then.When fist diagnosed I was told that the surgery would not supply a meter so I brought one with all the strips etc, then 2 weeks ago I saw our diabetic nurse who gave me a machine provided by the health service as this could be calibrated and they supplied everything and this is now on repeat for me, post code lottery I think. demand one from your surgery
You get the lot William but has previously mentioned my hubby cannot get one,I think because I've not been controlled they gave me a replacement when my other broke.And do you get Test Strips and Lancets on prescription for this meter?
I fully understand when your on insulin and agree your needs must come first,but if we could regulate our BG reading we wouldn't have has many health needs and no medication. It just sounds common sense to me help people to help themselves and save money in the long term. What's best no help and lifetime of problems or a more healthy life.@Granny_grump_ -I used to just get Test Strips and Lancets free on prescription because I always bought my own meter. Then 2 years ago got a letter from Doctors Surgery saying No more free test strips/lancets on prescription due to NHS Cutbacks.
So, I could accept/use the Free Meter the Practise was offering me complete with free Strips and Lancets? So I opted to use the Practice one.
I only get it free because I am using Insulin.

My SD meter reads 1,2 mmol/l high compared to other meters I have tried. I now accept this offset amd make allowance for it. Generally I would not use it for making decisions with, but it tells me if I get a misread or bad batch of strips (which has happened a couple of times now) It is my sanity check, thats all, but its the cheapest meter to run.I just tried out my codefree again this morning. 5.9 on tee2, 5.8 on accu mobile and 6.9 on the codefree.

Could you send me a link to this web site cannot find on internetThe Tee2 is as cheap virtually and is possibly more accurate. Also the meter kit, data lead, software on cd and 2 spare batteries all come free when ordered from spirit's web site.
