Message: <blockquote data-quote="cugila" data-source="post: 114036" data-attributes="member: 15325">The accuracy of meters do vary but always within the accepted EC tolerances. No, it isn't perfect.What you would need for 100% accuracy is lab type equipment. As these devices are small and portable it is unrealistic to expect them to be that accurate, They are a guide only. If they were like lab test equipment, which also is not 100% accurate, they would probably be the size of a suitcase and cost a fortune.  My meter and all the others give good readings which help to decide if my Bg is up or down. If I feel cr*p and I test with my meter it confirms how I feel - low. If I feel happy and bouncy, the test usually confirms it is high. That's all I need to know, not that the reading might be out a point or so. By using the same meter ALL the time any discrepancies balance out - so they are as good as they need to be.</blockquote>
