Guest guest Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 You might want to do some averaging of your numbers and throw out those that seem to be obviously wrong. As a general rule the test results can vary by as much as 10%. For instance you get a reading of 140 and you don't know the history of your typical glucose levels. This reading may be in actuality as high as 154 or as low as 126. I would be highly suspect of any readings that seem to vary more than the 10% difference for the average or typical reading. which one is probably correct > I had lunch at one pm, I had a hamburger patty and two stalks of celery and > water. checked my sugar at three pm. had to check it three different times. > got three different readings. first time, 48, I think was wrong. second > time, was 158, this might have been right. the third time was 128. this also > could be right. am I not getting my blood in the hole right, or am I not > getting enough blood?

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2004 Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 get a different kind. most use the accucheck voice mate and everyone has trouble with it. I use the lifescan one touch profile with a speech box and it is much more reliable than that silly one folks use. It beeps *loudly* when there is enough blood on the unit and will tell you " not enough blood " if the strip is not covered andit would test. Harry, can you post info about this you called last month or so on it. thanks. Regards, which one is probably correct I had lunch at one pm, I had a hamburger patty and two stalks of celery and water. checked my sugar at three pm. had to check it three different times. got three different readings. first time, 48, I think was wrong. second time, was 158, this might have been right. the third time was 128. this also could be right. am I not getting my blood in the hole right, or am I not getting enough blood? I usually always have this kind of trouble. yesterday it read after breakfast, in this order, 248-175-131. this is crazy. this is why I don't like this talking machine, even if it die cost 700 dollars. maybe I should get me a different kind. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
