ALWAYS wash hands with warm soapy water. Rinse and dry them
before testing. ALWAYS use fresh capillary whole blood on meter tests.
You may still see a difference from the lab result. This can be due to
several causes. Blood glucose levels can change over short periods of
time, for example due to food or stress. Test strip results may also vary
due to medications or to low or high hematocrit.
Analyze data with a clinically acceptable method.
Your test results will vary over time.
For example, results may vary due to
• The time of day the test was done
• The food you eat
• Activities you do
• The insulin and other medications you take
If your readings do not seem correct, repeat the test. Contact your
healthcare professional immediately if
• Abnormally high or low readings persist
• Your test results do not match your symptoms
