Your thinking about the Keynote is interesting, but I’m not sure it’s accurate. I’ve been using the Keynote along with my Flash (and now I’ve switched over to the Lite), and the Keynote doesn’t always give higher numbers. Like I said in this post, they are more “centered”. Often when I am high(er), the Keynote actually gives lower values.

Of course, I am comparing the Keynote to the Freestyle products, while you are comparing the Keynote to the One Touch products, so maybe that is where the difference it.

Looking at their test results, I’m more inclined to accept the Keynote values. Here’s my thinking (could be flawed). If you’re putting a meter out that’s got a low accuracy level you’d want it to report the blood sugar towards the low end of what might be the real number. If your blood sugar is really 100 and the meter says it’s 85 that’s OK. But if the meter said it was 120, you might over correct and drop low. My guess is that meter companies adjust the meters that way.

Congrats on the Dexcom. How are the sensors going for you? I usually get about 10 days out of each one on average. Right now the one I’m wearing is 11 days old, but the adhesive is looking pretty ratty.

Have you tried the software out yet? It’s very informative. Especially the hourly view over a week or more. You can see which times of day need fixing up based on the spread of readings. All good stuff.

Seriously, though, what is up with wide-ranging values across different meters? Ugh! I know how you feel. My piece o’crap (TrueTrack Cheapie Model) can be 100 points different between hands. WTF?!?
