Accu-Chek meter error codes

Understand the Accu-Chek Guide Me error codes (E-1, E-3, E-9, Err, and others) and what to do in each case.

Accu-Chek meter error codes

The error codes below are shown by the Accu-Chek Guide Me meter itself, not by Diablesse. Diablesse only imports valid readings; when the meter shows an error, no reading is generated to sync.

Importing Accu-Chek readings is available in Diablesse for Android. See How to connect the Accu-Chek Guide Me meter (Android).

The table below summarizes the main codes and what to do in each case.
