80

Just curious to see if anyone else has had any accuracy issues with OneTouch monitors?

Almost no point into configuring a diet when i'm not sure if I'm type 1, 2 and what meds I will need to help me out.
Actually everything looks normal. Your wife's numbers are exactly what you'd expect for a non-diabetic, and unfortunately, so are yours, for someone who, as of yet is uncontrolled.

You will get significant variation even with blood from the same stick.

There is a meter that is more accurate but it cost more, the sctrips cost more, the amount of blood needed is more, and it takes more time.
