How do I check that my meter is reading correctly? I tested my sugars before meal tonight and it registered 1.9 which I thought was weird as I was functioning and feeling perfectly well - I checked again and it read 9.5 which sounded much more realistic.

Hi Lindy. It could have been a duff strip. Best way to check if you think there may be an issue with the meter is with the control solution. If you haven't got any or it's out of date just contact the meter company for some.
