Comparing blood glucose meter and laboratory
results
Your PDA's blood glucose meter and laboratory
equipment both report glucose concentrations in the
serum or plasma component of your blood. However,
variations between the two are normal, and your meter
results and laboratory results may be slightly different.
To ensure a reasonable comparison between your
meter and laboratory results, please follow these
guidelines:
• Make sure your PDA is working properly.
• Comparisons will be more accurate if you do not eat
for at least four hours (preferably eight hours) before
testing.
• Bring your PDA, test strips, and control solution to
the lab.
• Ensure that the time between tests with your PDA
and the laboratory is within 15 minutes.
