If I were in this situation, I would first call my doctor and ask for their educated opinion for the differences in readings. Then I would contact the manufacturer of EACH device to ask why the difference in readings. My final contact would be the FDA (?) that approved the devices to see if they have any insight as to the differences.

I have no idea if there are "calibration fluids" that can be used to check the accuracy of the sensors, but that might be the final check.

Good luck I hope you can figure out why this is happening.
