You will always get variance. I found that Accuchek read much lower than my normal meters (a fasting read as 60 when on my normal meter which I have tested against a lab and found to be accurage was 95.)

I don't multiple test. For one, you are wasting strips and those are not cheap. The other issue with that is you will drive yourself crazy. The meters are only designed to give you a ballpark figure. I take the number and run with it.
