I think that it is stupid that some meters in general test higher than others; it is very confusing. Why do companies not calibrate the meters to one and the same result. A 20 point difference is way too much. (Yes, I have compared the meters a couple of times more).
I think it is really important for diabetics to stick to one meter and base insulin dosage on that meter only.
Ok, I need to vent.
I hate the fact that companies, whos only concern is money, have a say in how I feel. Companies work together would you. Please!
I would rather have good strips than cheap strips (of course amount of blood, time and cost should be considered, but not at all costs! (and for me 20 points is a fairly high cost)).
Where I live money for things like strips and medicine is shared trough the whole population, so I dont have to worry about getting the cheapest strip I can find. Here we dont dump even more concerns on those that for some unknown and completely not self conflicted reason got a chronic disease. Every citizen by law pays a certain amount of money each month, sick or not; And no one complains.  |
