1. Make sure your meter is clean Perform check strip and control solution tests to make sure the meter is working properly 42 2 Comparisons will be more accurate if you have not eaten for at least four hours and preferably eight hours prior to doing the comparative tests Take your meter with you to the lab While at the lab Make sure that both tests are done within 15 minutes of each other 2 Wash your hands before obtaining a blood sample 2 Never use your meter with blood that has been placed in a gray top test tube Comparing the results When the lab tests your blood only the serum or plasma portion is used Your OneTouch Basic Meter uses only whole blood Comparing serum or plasma to whole blood is like comparing a temperature of 98 6 F with the temperature of 37 C in order to see if the values are equal you have to adjust one of the results Whole blood results are approximately 1296 lower than serum or plasma results To compare lab results with meter results divide the lab result by 1 12 Example Assume that your lab result plasma or serum is 224 mg dL 224 divided by 1 12 200 the lab value is now approximately equal to a whole blood result Compare this figure to your meter result The two should be within 2096 of each other You may still have a variation from the result because blood glucose levels can change significantly over short periods es2.
