Does anyone use an accu check go BGL meter?!
Question: I have recently purchased an accu check go meter to check my bgl level. I have used it several times now and always record a low reading - highest has been 1.1 and lowest 0.4 - I would expect to be comatose if this is the case. Are these meters known for bad readings or could I be using it incorrectly. I have followed the instructions precisely. Could such low readings come from not enough blood for the test? Any opinions or advice would be appreciated.

The bottle of little strips have a calibration code on the side. That number has to be programed into your meter for accurate readings. This is my guideline when using OneTouch Ultra strips. Does your accu check meter have a similar calibration requirement?
