TRUEyou System and Laboratory Testing
The most accurate results come from using
fresh, capillary whole blood from the fingertip
or forearm. Venous whole blood collected into
sodium or lithium heparin blood collection
tubes may be used for testing by Healthcare
Professionals. Use of EDTA blood collection tubes
is not recommended and may cause low results.
Mix tube contents gently before using.
When comparing results between TRUEyou and
a laboratory system, perform a TRUEyou blood
test within 30 minutes of laboratory test. Diabetes
experts have suggested that 95% glucose meter
results should agree within 0.83 mmol/L of a
laboratory method when the glucose concentration
is less than 5.55 mmol/L, and within 15% of a
laboratory method when the glucose concentration
is 5.55 mmol/L or higher.

If the patient has
recently eaten, fingerstick results from the
TRUEyou System can be up to 3.9 mmol/L higher
than venous laboratory results.
