lab results in the same way. Specific factors that may
cause your meter result to vary from your lab result may
include:
• You have eaten recently. This can cause a result from
fingertip testing to be up to 3.9 mmol/L higher than a
lab test using blood drawn from a vein.

• Your haematocrit is above 60% or below 20%.
• You are severely dehydrated.
