What are the different types of glucose meters?
How do blood glucose meters work? We can divide them into three different types: invasive, non-invasive and continuous. Invasive: the measurement is made using a blood sample taken using a lancing device, lancets and test strips.
Why do different blood glucose meters give different readings?
Test strips that have expired or have been exposed to extreme heat or cold can provide inaccurate readings. If you use one of these and then move to a new box, you could get very different numbers. Also, make sure you are using the correct test strip.
