[QUOTE="Lizzie7, post: 101186, member: 21772"] Hi there, I switched to an aviva nano a couple of weeks ago and I've noticed it reads slightly higher than other metres I've tried (one touch and breeze 2). There is an error margin with all metres and I also get slightly different results depending on which hand and figure I use. I did ask a nurse friend about this and she said the metres are pretty accurate and certified for accuracy but your body is not i.e. - different blood samples will vary slightly and this is normal. Even using the same blood sample on the same metre can produce a slightly different result. She also said it's the same for blood pressure etc - you can have different readings from the left and right arms. x [/QUOTE]
