[Diabetes-talk] Total Diabetes supply

[Mike Freeman]

Both readings are within the accuracy of home meters required by the FDA.
Since you felt OK, I'd probably go with the higher reading. However, in my
case, I wouldn't know for certain in that I feel just fine at 80 although
quite a few people do not.

This was interesting to me this morning.
I had the number of 80. Well if I took ten from that this would mean 70.
I went to the other meter that read 103.
Wich meter would you have believed.
I spoke with the coordinator who said if I felt ok still with the 
number reading 80 that I probably would go up not down.
I told her that I couldn't test with both meters all of the time that 
my fingers were getting way to sore.
Just thought it was interesting.
