Comparing Meter and Laboratory Results
The test results you obtain from your meter may
differ somewhat from your laboratory results
due to normal variation. Meter results can be
affected by factors and conditions that do not
affect laboratory results in the same way (see
test strip package insert for typical accuracy and
precision data as well as important information
on limitations). To make an accurate comparison
between meter and laboratory results, follow the
guidelines below.
Before you go to the laboratory:
• Perform a control solution test to make sure
that the meter is working properly.
• It is strongly recommended to fast for at least
eight (8) hours before doing comparison tests.
• Take your meter with you to the laboratory.
While at the laboratory:
• Make sure that the samples for both tests (the
meter test and the laboratory test) are taken
and tested within 15 minutes of each other.

• Wash your hands before obtaining a blood
sample.
• Never use your meter with blood that has
been collected in a gray top test tube.
• Use fresh capillary blood only.
You may still have a variation from the result
because blood glucose levels can change
significantly over short periods, especially if you
have recently eaten, exercised, taken medication
or experienced stress.1 In addition, if you have
eaten recently, the blood glucose level from a
finger stick can be up to 70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L)
higher than blood drawn from a vein (venous
sample) used for a lab test.2
Therefore, it is best to fast for eight (8) hours
before doing comparison tests. Factors such as
the amount of red blood cells in the blood (a high
or low hematocrit) or the loss of bodily fluids
(severe dehydration) may also cause a meter
result to be different from a laboratory result.
