[QUOTE="angieG, post: 334853, member: 30853"] I got issued an Accucheck Mobile by the hospital when I got put on insulin in August. Previously I had used a Freestyle Lite (strips on prescription) and a SD Codefree (strips purchased to give me more tests). The SD was nearly always higher than the Freestyle Lite so I used to think like you. The Accucheck however reads even lower than both of these meters so I was often getting 4 or below which concerned me a bit. I had an HbA1c done mid November (after my first 3 months on insulin) which came back as 52. This according to the conversions on this website says it would equate to an average of 9.4mmol/L on the meter readings. My Accucheck (which does 90 days averages) at this time said 7.4 whereas the SD for 30 days said 8.8. This means that my SD seems to be reading nearer to the HbA1c value. If this is the case I will need to have readings of 4 and under regularly to get a lowish result next time! :shock: (I need good readings as DVLA want my results to decide whether to reinstate my coach and lorry licences) Regards Angie [/QUOTE]
