System information
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 3.9mmol/L higher than a
lab test using blood drawn from a vein.

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