[Diabetes-Talk] blood sugar question

[Lisa Belville]

This has happened to me once.  I think it was something funky with the 
meter.  It was early in the morning before I'd eaten and I could tell my 
sugar was     getting low.  The test said it was 155, so I purposely 
took it again from a different finger and the reading was 94, which is 
more consistent with my morning readings.  It didn't take long between 
testing of the first finger, hearing the reading, removing a new strip 
and doing another test, probably less than three minutes.


If it kept happening I'd think there was something wrong with the meter 
or the strips since it can't test if there's not enough blood so that 
couldn't be what's causing the discrepancy.
