So I'm looking to change my glucomen lx and have been trying out the Aviva expert, alongside the libre. Which is the most accurate? I know that no meter is always accurate all the time but it's difficult to know which readings to believe and what decision to make regarding insulin, food, exercise etc.

Thanks in advance and apologies if this is already mentioned in another thread!
 

Where did you take the blood from? Same hand? Same finger? Same drop of blood?

Your blood is not completely homogeneous, so disregarding the accuracy issue they could all be correct. (They could also all be incorrect).

Don't get stressed about individual figures, stick to one meter and look for trends.
 
Same finger, same drop.. I guess I'll choose one and stick with it, the expert seems to have lower readings than the glucomen, I think that's why I like it!
