What glucose testing kit were you given?

I was given the AgaMatrix testing kit and my readings have been all over the place. With the same pricked blood I can get a 20.6 reading and a 7.1. I decided to use one from work to test with the same blood my reading was 5.9. I am absolutely fuming and quite upset because this has literally been giving me panic attacks… even in my dreams 😥

Gosh I can imagine, that would stress me out as well! I’m using One touch verio and it has worked well for me so far, seems fairly accurate.

@Keta are your readings fairly stable ?

the first couple times i used the kit, i pricked different fingers and got a similar reading both times. the readings have also been consistent with what i eat. i believe you can buy a control solution compatible with one touch verio to make sure the machine is working well, i wonder if there’s something for AgaMatrix that you could try to see if the kit needs to replaced with something else?

Mine is fine using the agamatrix one. Are you washing your hands with soap and warm water before testing and have you tried resetting it with the control solution? I'd be so stressed out with readings all over the place like that, sounds horrible!!

@Keta yeah I tried the control solution which came back fine… I think

@Hannah i have been washing my hands with soap/warm water and the solution but still getting odd readings which are quite a big gap from one another. It’s definitely stressful. I’m hoping I can speak to my dietician and request a new machine
