Mismatch in glucose reading

2021-06-30 15:41:05
Measured my random blood sugar as 125mg/dl, but within less than a minute measured again with the same machine as 145 mg/dl. Now I doubt the accuracy of Accu chek Active. (My strips are new and not expired). Is it normal to get such mismatched readings?

This type of variation is common in Glucometer, we get errors in sRBS and Ppbs. in Glucometer and is reliable in FBS. Better get done in lab.

Yes. Better to measure fasting levels for a few days and see the trend.
