< 100 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L)
< 140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L)
Comparing Meter and Laboratory Results
The meter provides you with plasma blood equivalent results. The result
you obtain from your meter may differ somewhat from your laboratory
result due to normal variation. Meter results may be affected by factors
and conditions that do not affect laboratory results in the same way. To
make an accurate comparison between meter and laboratory results,
follow the guidelines below.
Before going to the lab:
● Perform a control solution test to make sure that the meter is working
properly.
● Fast for at least eight hours before doing comparison tests, if possible.
