[Diabetes-talk] Random incorrect readings with prodigy voice

[Ronit Ovadia Mazzoni]

Hi again everyone,
Sorry to be a bother, but thank you to everyone who has helped me out so
far. I was just wondering if any of you have had this experience. Sometimes
when I test, I will get a reading that I know is incorrect. Usually it's a
very low reading, somewhere around 40 or 50. When I retest with a new strip,
this is corrected and I get a reading that sounds more believable. I thought
this was happening when it took me a while to get blood on the strip but I
have found that it is stil happening even when I get the blood on the strip
easily. I had someone sighted help me a few times and it was even happening
when I had help. Granted it doesn't happen every time but it's quite anoying
to have to prick myself twice after I get a reading that is incorrect. Also,
I have checked that my meter is working properly with the control solution
and it gives an accurate reading. Have any of you ever had this problem?
Anything I can do to prevent it? Thanks so much!
Ronit
