Either your strips are old, or the battery needs replacing.
You would not be conscious at the 29 reading you got, I don't think.

Yes, it's possible to be conscious at 29, I've heard of people at 11 talking.
Most likely either the strip was out dated, your test site wasn't clea.n pick up a TruTest meter, comes with 50 strips I think. Any chain drug store should have it, around $23. Get a poker too. I prefer to use the sides of my fingers, not the pad. Hurts way less. I bruise like I've been beaten using forearm.

I didn't know cleaning the site affected the readout -- guess I'd better use those alcohol wipes more religiously.

If there is any alcohol left on the skin, that will also affect the reading.
OneTouch will give an "error #" to warn of this. OneTouch and Freestyle use different chemical systems. The Freestyle will read other ---ose sugars as high. Maltose, etc. OneTouch is more accurate, but will read high if you use aspirin right before, or have elevated uric acid, or acidosis. you might want to read this thread: http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/sh...ighlight=touch
