I recently switched glucometers and now my blood sugars are reading much higher...should I be concerned? I'm also battling a cold, would that be one of the reasons for the increase?

I have had this happen also. I'm not sure if it's the meter or the fact you are getting a cold. I would contact your doctor.

Thank you for your input
