[acb-diabetics] Solo V2: Was Re: Introducing myself

[Mike Freeman]

Veronica:

I agree with you.  But if two readings are vastly different when the 
readings are taken within a couple of minutes of each other, one or the 
other is not valid.  With experience IMO one gets a feel for how one's body 
acts and can make a pretty good guess which reading is inaccurate.  If 
necessary, one can test a third time.

AS I say, however, if/when the "improved" Solo V2 fixes the bugs, I may well 
switch to it.

Actually, I consider the state of meter technology today a disgrace; IMO 
meters should be accurate to within a percent of lab standard consistently!
