Our newly Diagnosed son has had fun ordering a selection of 'Free' BG Meters via the diabetes.co.uk Facebook links to try and find one he likes, that is quick and easy to use and suits his lifestyle .
We have been trying each one and comparing results and are a bit concerned by the different readings we get from the same finger prick. We have found that some can differ as much as one whole unit, with most varying about 0.4
Even 2 models of the same tester vary by 0.4....this is the difference between a Hypo or a normal reading.
Would like to know your thoughts and experience on this subject.
Thanks
