Comparing Your Meter Result To A Lab Result
The meter is equivalent to whole blood (as noted on the page 31 of the user’s manual). A common question is
how the blood glucose results on your meter compare to the lab results. Your blood glucose can change
quickly, especially after eating, taking medication, or exercising. If you test yourself in the morning, then go to
the doctor’s office for a blood glucose test. The results will probably not match, even if you are fasting. This is
typically not a problem with your meter, it just means that time has elapsed and your blood glucose has
changed.
If you want to compare your meter result to the lab result, you must be fasting. Bring your meter to the
doctor’s office, and test yourself by fingertip within five minutes of having blood drawn from your arm by a
healthcare professional. Keep in mind that the lab could use different technology than EasyPlus mini R2N
blood glucose meter, and that blood glucose meters for self testing generally read somewhat lower or higher
than the lab result.
For accuracy and precision data and for important information on limitations, see the instructions that come
with your test strips.
