Numbers don't quite compute

I had to bump Jester's dosage up to 1.5U yesterday because of annoyingly high BGs. (Completely screwed up the curve I did on him on Saturday, in fact.)

And now this - Jester's AMPS via both generic and OEM test strips on the OneTouch meter:
First w/ the generic strip - BG 537
Second w/ OEM strip - BG 490
Third w/ generic again - BG 410

The first two were even on the same drop of blood, for cryin' out loud! Usually, the generic strips register BG lower than the OEM.

Frankly, I almost don't want to even put any of this into the spreadsheet - it's almost sort of embarrassing.

Anyone ever run into this kind of goofiness with a test?

Yeesh. A couple of months ago, I would have been panicking through the roof!

Meters are allowed a plus/minus 20% variance in their readings. All those numbers fit fairly well into those limits.
 
Doesn't make me any happier with that number......

Usually by now he's responding to 1.5U and coming down.
 
I've had similar situations with Squallie. I end up just taking the average of the three tests and going withn that as my number!
