Message: <blockquote data-quote="GraceK" data-source="post: 312144" data-attributes="member: 47233">I have the Accu-Check Aviva which is the one I started with.  As the strips were expensive I bought a Codefree a few days ago and have been using that and was wondering why my levels have suddenly shot up by a whole 2 points every day-  :roll: I was down to the 6s but now with the Codefree I'm up in the 8s every day.  It really is a big difference isn't it?  And I haven't been eating any more carbs than I was before.  I must admit I'm put off by the Codefree higher readings, my heart does a little 'huumph' when I see anything 8 or above.  So it makes me wonder whether the cheaper strips are actually of any benefit.  But then again it could be the expensive strips that aren't doing the job.  How can we tell the accuracy of a strip?</blockquote>
