Asking for Self, Female, 26 years old, karachi
i m 34+5days pregnant ,my dr said keep eye on sugar level, i checked my fasting level in lab it comes 72 & on the same time when i checked through glucometer it comes 85 so tell me difference b/w lab & glucometer is ok or my glucometer is not working fine
It's normal difference between lab and glucometer.your glucometer is ok.
an error of 10 is acceptable.Also remember u give venous blood in lab and capillary blood in glucometer.If you still have doubt get your glucometer calibrated from the lab.
