Glukometers losing faith in them.

I have been testing the cheap codefree meter for a while and comparing it with the glucomenlx that they give me in the insurance and if at first it seemed that they diverted quite a lot from 170, one up and one down (see photo2) now it seems that thedeviation is continuous (photo1).Between 130 and 186 there is a lot of difference.And this always happens.

I have already lost all credibility in glucometers, especially in the new ones that use little blood.As you can see in these photos and those that I have been publishing lately, those in the middle are always those who use more blood and these are usually always closer.Those of the extremes are always those who use less.

It is very screwed to have to click more blood but I think I will return to the Ultrauch Ultra.Although I am not sure that it is the one who is right.

Have you compared your meters in some way?

Sherpa41,

I am a bit like you with the issue of trusting gluconometers.On December, a higher hemo came out than expected but hey, as I had been two weeks of travel in Asia and obviously I could not be as controlled as at home because I ailled it to that.Then I did the hemo in March again and the accounts did not square me either.So giving the Act to the conclusion that it had to be the glucometer, well, to be more exact were the strips!Comparing with older lots of strips that I had stored I realized that the expiration lots in 2016 systematically gave results 20-30 mg/dl lower.I get to see 56 with a new and 79 strip with the old woman, for me there is enough difference between these results since for me one is a hypo and the other a normal value.
CONCLUSION: I have changed glucometer brand because with the one I had once the old strips ended, I would have left the new ones.I have not done any heme again so I don't know how I will go with this.

We always use the menarini, which has evolved at less blood and less time, and continues with good results and good hemo.

But have you compared it with any, because in my comparison the impression gives that the Menarini is the worst of all?

I compared it to the one who uses the nurse and. The first one he had of Bayer, and just changing his hem almost a point.It measures well, because the average of glycemia and hemo coincides.

Anyway between two equal glucometers, there may also be differences.
I convinces me more the one that best detects the hypos.

The best way to check it is to control at the same time that they test blood for the annual analytics.And compare

Not if the hypos are all detected, it is well from 100-110 that each meter goes by its side.And yes, in the end I will try to measure before the annual analysis.

Yes, the higher the value, the greater the error, but even with the same glucometer it can give you quite different with high values ​​..
Do not eat the coconut with that.

Yes and with the same meter and the same drop of blood, you realize when you start using the Dexcom that you have to calibrate it 2 times in a row and use the same drop (come on that you squeeze and take out a mega droplet to serve you for 2 controls) And you will see the difference between one and the other ... some very similar but others ...

Here you have my contribution to the subject, as you will see, it is not the first time we talk about this, I leave you a couple of threads for your reading.

Difference between glucometers.... I got a little mosque, but since there was a difference of half an hour ... a difference of more than 50 points in blood!

That is, against more precise we want the glucometers less ... the difference is not much but possibly in hypoglycemia the glucometer ...

I totally agree, the first calibrations with the Dexcom hacked as there could be so much difference and I started trying several times in a row and you realize that the same glucometer is a festival

I only have the contour xt, I thought they were all more or less reliable, what a cloth

Girls, they told me that to calibrate the Dexcom, two glycemia of different hands ....

And yes, the meters mark what they want, I think there were no differences ...

Well, I asked him and they told me to take advantage of the same drop, now I keep the doubt ...

They told me that with it in fingers separated by 2, which could be in the same hand, anyway, I have gone to consult the Dexcom manual and I have not been able to find the concrete recommendation, on the other hand, whatWhat do they say is that a blood glucose measurement is not used that is not the fingertips ...

No, in the manual it is not specified whether of 2 fingers, same drop or the 2 hands to me the commercial that I live home to put on the first sensor but I know ... I know ...

The commercial for the Seven Plus told me, I also invented it ... the truth is that I don't look for it in the manual

I suppose it is a way to avoid the differences of the meters, I have proven that sometimes the glycemics vary according to the finger in which you click.
