Ok I had previously brought my own accuracy check system BGL monitor and have been using that for 6 months now. The docs have been allowing me to get strips on prescription until today. They did warn me that they were no longer issuing strips for any monitors other than nexus ones. They have now provided my with a nexus monitor and strips.
I decided for the sheer hell of it to test on each system the same large drop of blood! The accu one read 6.8 the nexus 5.2!!! I then tested with control solution and both say they are within the range for the strips (which as a scientist seems a massive range!)
I want to say 'the doc one will be the most accurate' it being the lower reading but is this that case in your experience?
10 months diagnosed hpa1c down from 12.2 to 7.1 so must be doing something right! My average on my old monitor is 6.9 mmol but it could be lower on the new one!
