Each meter can have a 20% variance so 426 is within 20% of 500. It’s essentially the same number.

She went higher again. I’m adjusting to this meter and I haven’t figured out the numbers yet. Why is she so high now? Because she ate and the insulin hasn’t taken effect yet?

It’s hard to say why she went up. Lantus usually onsets by +3 at the latest. There are a lot of reasons why the BG goes up; its possible she went lower today, the BG came down a little bit when the Lantus onset at +2, but then she’s starting a bounce. That is just a thought.

The absorption rate from shot to shot at the same dose can vary up to 50%. Even things such as changes in barometric pressure can affect the BG. Sometimes, we just have to move on from those high numbers Withings knowing for sure why.
