<Blockquote Rel = "" Velia "" = ""The time in which he used them, I do not remember the model, was one of those that carry a thread with the pregared strips (very comfortable for her, very hygienic and very practical), suffered 2 serious hypoglycemia.I have to say that it was freshly debuted and using pre -en -insulins, to which for the same reason, among others, I have a considerable pull.In addition, I could see that between some measurements and others made with the same device or with a different one there were differences of up to 100 and 150 mg/dl ... Therefore, I have avoided the use of the brand for this purpose, butA couple of years ago they gave me the contour link, almost all of you will know the characteristics of the device and the advantage provided by the wireless data reception.At that time I only used it a couple of days, since we had the minilink and it was impossible for us... I put it aside again, I didn't trust.In my hospital they have been giving me the tabarra all this time to use it, which is very good, that everyone is doing well, and Patatán Patatán.In the last review they insisted again in such a way that I agreed to try again ... I had it 2 months on the table without any encouragement to open it and in view of the fact that at the end of the month we touch us again, last weekWe finally started it .... What things !!!, on Thursday Angela calls me from the Institutetime ”“ 216, Mommy ”, jolin again ... wipe again, to see which one we stayed“ 190 ”.... I did not imagine how, but hey, an isolated fact can happen, that if the sampleIt was contaminated, if such .... Although I wondered, what would have happened if I had put the 3 or 4 insulin units to correct the hyper .... you will tell me ... Well, I am not happy with that, yesterday, yesterdayHe calls me again and tells me, I have had 400 again, but with the same drop I measured again and gave 205 and once again 190 ... and now what ??? ... I called the hospital, and they say thatIt only happens to me, to call the commercial, and after talking to him, very kind the littleThey analyze it in the laboratory and that give me a new one .... I will do that, but I do not trust anything ... ah!, I have to say that this is not the same as 2 years ago, it is a new one.Also that on Thursday we made parallel measurements with another gluco and gave more or less the same ... Anyway, that I am made a mess ...
What do you think?
Montse, the comparison between meters I do it by system whenever change of meter.And not one or two or three times.And when I compared the USB contour with the Nano de Roche or the XCEED of Abbott the result is always the same;They do not match.But not for much, that is, normal.
What I do tell you is that when your daughter has measured because she thought she was high, these devices (both the bayer and the others) have a very high error index.Therefore, different consecutive measurements can come out with very very different results, and especially with a difference between them very large.One day I talked to a brand representative (I don't remember which one) and explained in detail the technology they use (all) to measure.And I came to tell me with few words, that a meter is reliable the more normoglycemic these.If you separate from normal, the error increases greatly, both above (hyper) and below (hypo).What happens is that for example, 8% error in a hip can be 4 mg, while in a hyper it can be 40 mg.That explanation convinced me a lot and it is the one that I welcome every time I look twice and I see such disparate results.
Why do you think that the good measure was looked at 3 times is the third and not the first?If you correct based on the first measurement, it may be fine ... or not.Among the many many factors or rather variables that escape our control (those variables that obsess both your husband), is also this;the precision (or imprecision) of the meters.One day we have a downturn and we think ... What have I done wrong?And you review all day and you don't find why ... and simply, it may be that that day, the onion of the food was more abundant ... or that the previous insulin prick had penetrated a little more muscularly than at the subcutaneous level.Or that you had spent a little heat in the morning at a meeting and that accelerated a little more your usual glucose consumption.Or that that morning you had a more intense movement of certain hormones, and therefore, there was more inhibition of insulin action.Or ... or ... or ... that is, the meter is one more.I would not blame Bayer for a general problem.I personally do not care about the model.I only look for a small, fast apparatus, with good capillarity in the strip and good management program.
