I think it means you may not have uploaded enough blood onto the stick? Either way a bit rude!!!

Don’t always trust the meter, I was injecting insulin to the meter reading, very high. I then had a Libra 2 on a 3 month trial and it read quite low, turned out the meter was faulty but unless you have something to compare it with you never know. Gp surgery was useless, I phoned up and said my reading was 33. Was told by a nurse you obviously eat too many carbs and put the phone down on me. I now pay to see a Diabetic Consultant who was appalled at my treatment. I was a diet controlled diabetic for many years, a family genetic, I had Stevens-Johnson Syndrome from the A Z, this caused my blood sugar to soar out of control.

Libra not to be 100% trusted my husband as been using it for a little over 3 months and we have had 3 faulty ones in that time. They we showing his Glucose levels at 2.2, 2.5, 2.1 luckily hubby knows himself when low so we couldn't understand it insulin intake nil then finger prick showed correct readings. Abbotts replaced all 3 so they know there's an issue. Also the Libra shows 1 pint lower than your actual blood test. In most occasions. This is also a known fact by Abbotts

Hope this helps.

Dear me, that’s rude. Lock it in a dark cupboard for a few hours, to teach it some manners 😂
