Meter results can be affected by factors that do not affect
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 70 mg/dL higher than a lab
test using blood drawn from a vein.

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

Test Strip Insert.
