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.
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.
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.
