I made the second one because I couldn't think of a reason for the 119 given
the time elapsed since I last ate... but 92 was SO far off, I decided to try
a third to confirm... and 103 was enough off from both of them that I
decided to go for a fourth try.

This is disconcerting, it makes me wonder how correct the readings are that
I accept on the first try because they don't raise any question in my mind.


Even if you disregard the accepted fact that strips can have an up to 15%
variation(plus OR minus), I can't see any reason for those readings to cause
any worry......


No worry about the absolute level if that's what you mean. The "worry" is more how correct the readings are that I *don't* recheck because they seem correct.
