Understanding Test Results
The ReliOn® confirm blood glucose meter is referenced to a fresh
plasma sample. Your meter results may differ from clinical lab results. This
is due to normal variation. To compare your meter with lab results, follow
the guidelines below.
Before you compare
Perform a control solution test. This makes sure your meter and test strips
are working correctly. Wait at least 2 hours after a meal or drink (other
than water) before doing a comparison. If the lab test needs venous
blood, you must fast before giving a blood sample.
When at the lab
Blood samples for both tests must be taken and tested within 15
minutes of each other. Collect blood for the lab test with an approved
preservative. Heparin samples of blood may be used. See test strip insert
for additional information. ReliOn® Confirm blood glucose meter is
plasma referenced.
