Attack of the Inaccurate Meter

So it’s not even consistent from one meter of the same brand/type to the next, huh? How frustrating. I know the BD meter wasn’t great. I got the one along with my MM pump and never used it because it gave me really weird readings, like “20” when I was over 100, or “347” when I was 150. Supposedly meters can be 20% off from the lab. So, 20% higher or lower, which could result in a 40-pt difference between a meter that leans high and one that leans low. You’d think they could come up with something more accurate than that. I know that at this point I’d rather have one that reads a tad high than low. As long as it’s not TOO much off. Guess we should all really make a point of taking our bg before each lab draw!
