Swiching meters...how to advice.

[Natalia & Enana]

In January I bought a Precision Xtra meter, and I love it, but the strips (even in Ebay) are extremely expensive, so I bought a ReliOn Confirm. Today I tested Enana with both meters the Precision Xtra was 237 and the ReliOn was 209.

How do I make the change with 30 points difference?

Thanks.

There is a natural variance between meters. Even using the same meter twice with a few minutes, the number can be 20% different and still be within the variance. Even with the difference, you would most likely shoot the same dose.

The advice is to pick a meter and stay with it. Comparing numbers will drive you nuts and not really change your treatment.
