Pir caution ate carbohydrates and I went to a pharmacy to look at me with another device.He gave 96 and with mine at the same moment 84. He is a counted Bayer.

Already, but moving from 136 to 76 in 5 minutes seems more than 15% not?Or is that sudden descent possible?

Yes, it is rare, but if the rest of the values ​​are fine, it can be a punctual failure.You can ask for another glucometer from Bayer, they send it to you for free.
