Well my friends guess What? Food labels aren't always accurate: Food Calorie Counts Are Frequently Off.
I know. I was SHOCKED too! OK maybe not.
If calories are off, can carbs be far behind? I think not. So there is a margin of error from the label and there is a 'range' of accuracy on the meter. YDMV.
At least there is a wide range of things to blame for random strange numbers.
I think it is the Brits fault. If nothing else blaming them is a time honored tradition here in the Colonies.

We Brits at www.shootuporputup.co.uk consider ourselves honoured to be mocked old chap. Spiffing post. Toodle pip etc!
Some how I figured that would be the case if only by the amount you mock yourselfs.
Oh how this resonates Bennet! Sometimes I feel I should play 'Spin the Carb Wheel' after some meals, cause frankly, I'm just a guessin' on the whole carb count. I am hoping it (and I) get better over time.
I think you have got it!!! We need more people speaking out about the errors in food labeling. FDA and USDA have dropped the ball big time. I know that at first I thought the labels were reasonably accurate having worked in the food industry, but the more I study and research, the more I realize that the labels are only an approximation. Add the other errors people with diabetes face and it is a wonder that so many do a commendable job of getting getting the insulin near correct.

I've never really thought about labels being wrong - gah, another thing to make MDV
