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 70mg/dL higher
than a lab test using blood drawn from a vein.

• Your haematocrit is above 55% or below 30%.
• You are severely dehydrated.
