Default Element by Infopia - Does it Work???

My mother has been testing her blood sugar via the Element from Infopia, and she swears it is wrong! She has gotten 213, 191, and 186 within a minutes time. Can anyone help? Is this normal;
And if so, what should I tell her? She is up the wall about this...! Thank you very much!!! Until then...

-Robert

The Infopia Element has pretty good accuracy . About all you can do is run a control solution test on it or test your own blood sugar with it. It appears that your mother may have an infection problem due to some of the meds that she is on. If this is the case, be advised that any time a person with diabetes is sick or has an infection the blood sugar with climb.
