Happy Thursday everyone!

Decided to switch meters to Contour Next - friend gave me an extra kit with a BUNCH of strips and I'm running low on Relion strips anyways.

I've done some cross checking and it seems to read lower than the ReliOn, which I will keep in mind moving forward. I've also noticed in the last couple of months that the ReliOn reads closely with the AlphaTrak when you're in the lower greens.

Anyhow appreciate, as always, any feedback on her numbers + dose! Hope everyone has had a great week.

When you say lower greens, what range would that be?

I've heard more than one person say that the new ReliOn (Premier) reads higher than other human meters. Below 68 on the AT would mean a reduction but not on the ReliOn, which is worrisome if the ReliOn reads on par with the AT.
 
When I say lower greens I mean 80's and below, since she hasn't been under 65 at any point and her lower greens are primarily 70s.

But for example on 5/25 in her PM cycle at +10 she was at 80 on the ReliOn, I double checked it with the AT and she was at 81. I did another test on both meters and got the same result.

Another example on 5/9 in PM at +3 she was at 86 on ReliOn and 90 on the AT.

I should have stressed this more in my original message so my apologies - if any other folks are reading this - this is an anecdotal observation based on just a handful of instances, I do not have enough data/statistical analysis done in order to draw a firm conclusion.

If I get more chances to do cross tests in the lower greens I will for sure and share my results! I wish I had done some cross testing when she was in the 70s recently on the ReliOn.
