Helpful Hints
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.
