All home glucometers are considered only approximations for testing.
Here is a link explaining: http://forecast.diabetes.org/meters-jan2013 Quote:
I do know that very low levels are not accurate. Most glucometers explain that. So keeping any log or track of levels...is quite fluid...don't get overly concerned about slight changes up or down. Keep in mind your pancreas can change too...many type II diabetics eventually tire out their pancreas and may need a basal injectable insulin.
