Blood Glucose Meters Accuracy

Accuracy of blood glucose meters?
I tested my blood sugar 3 times in a row using 2 different testers to try & see if I could get an “accurate reading”. The first reading was 181 on a Freestyle meter. Immediately after that I used an One Touch Ultra II & the first reading on it was 86 and immediately after that I tested 107. I feel lightheaded, dizzy & fatigued, as if my blood sugar is low. So how can I determine if indeed my blood sugar is a problem, when I’m getting 3 different readings using 2 meters. Any ideal how to determine which is more accurate?
The meters need to be CALIBRATED with a control solution on a regular basis.
Get out your manual, and some test solution. Follow the instructions until your machine is acting properly.
This is especially important if the machine has not been used in a while, or if the number on the test strip package doesn’t match the number entered into the machine.
