Another reason for variation may be that the Meter test was not done within 10 or 15 minutes of the laboratory test. Because blood glucose levels can change rapidly (especially if you’ve re- cently eaten), the two tests could have very different results. 8,9 1 W ickham NWR, et al: Practical Diabetes (1986) 3(2):100. 2 Cohen FE, et al: Diabetes Ca[...]
