COMPARING GLUCOSE METER TEST RESULTS WITH
LABORATORY RESULTS
The iHealth system provides you with whole blood equivalent results. The result you obtain from
your glucose meter may differ somewhat from your laboratory results due to normal variation.
The iHealth system results can be affected by factors and conditions that do not affect laboratory
results in the same way.
To make an accurate comparison between the iHealth system and laboratory results, follow the
guidelines below.
Before the Lab Test
• Perform a control solution test to make sure that the meter is working properly.
• If possible, fast at least eight hours before conducting a comparison test.
• Take the iHealth system with you to the lab.
While at the Lab
Make sure that samples for both tests are taken and tested within 15 minutes of each other.
• Wash your hands before obtaining a blood sample.
• Never use your glucose meter with blood samples collected in a test tube.
• Use fresh capillary blood only.
