The standard for accuracy of all test meters is that they should be within 15% either way, so your two readings are within the allowed tolerances. Even if you were to test the same drop of blood twice, you are likely to get a different result, and the amount of glucose in your bloodstream is changing minute by minute in any case.
Thank you Robin.
I understand Jenny tbh I was thinking the same thing. Especially as they are not cheap to self fund.
Alvin the test meter will help...it will show you how what you eat affects your blood glucose...as long as you test before you eat and then two hours after eating...part of the problem is likely to be what you are eating now...rice...potatoes...bread and starchy vegetables need to be avoided as they are are likely to spike your BG's...some diabetics can tolerate sweet potato...others cannot...very much a case of trial & error...until you can find what your tolerance level is for the different foods...just wondering how long you have been diagnosed...whether you take medication...have you had much information from your GP or DSN on how to manage you diabetes...just a little bit more information will make it easier for others to offer the right support and assistance...it is difficult to grasp how to control/manage your BG initially...but with perseverance you will get there...it just takes time...no point in rushing...you need to do things at your own pace...one that's sustainable long term...what were your BG's at diagnosis...have you made much progress since then...why not tell us a little more about yourself.
