Hi folks,
Yes I’m getting a lot better reading these days. Like Andreas mentioned, it’s very sensitive but I changed a couple of things which has really helped with consistent readings. The first is that I no longer use Alcohol wipes when testing myself. I now setup a basin of water with soap and a towel before I jump on the treadmill and wash my hands before testing. I just seem to get better readings when I wash my hands, as I think the wipes can contaminate with the blood sample size being so small. The next thing I do is wipe away the first drop of blood and test the second drop. Try not to touch the trip of the strip with your finger, just the tip of the blood. I also noticed if the blood drop runs on the finger it’s no good, so like Andreas mentioned, try to find a good spot on your finger and don’t squeeze the drop out.
Good look with it, it’s a great little device once you get the hang of it.
Best regards,
Pete
