Information About your Prodigy® Meter

Comparing Meter and Laboratory Results

The test results you obtain from your meter may

differ somewhat from your laboratory results

due to normal variation. Meter results can be

affected by factors and conditions that do not

affect laboratory results in the same way (see

test strip package insert for typical accuracy and

precision data as well as important information

on limitations). To make an accurate comparison

between meter and laboratory results, follow the

guidelines below.

Before you go to the laboratory:

• Perform a control solution test to make sure

that the meter is working properly.

• It is strongly recommended to fast for at least

eight (8) hours before doing comparison tests.

• Take your meter with you to the laboratory.

While at the laboratory:

• Make sure that the samples for both tests (the

meter test and the laboratory test) are taken

and tested within 15 minutes of each other.

• Wash your hands before obtaining a blood

sample.

• Never use your meter with blood that has

been collected in a gray top test tube.

• Use fresh capillary blood only.

You may still have a variation from the result

because blood glucose levels can change

signicantly over short periods, especially if you

have recently eaten, exercised, taken medication

or experienced stress.

In addition, if you have

eaten recently, the blood glucose level from a

nger stick can be up to 70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L)

higher than blood drawn from a vein (venous

sample) used for a lab test.

Therefore, it is best to fast for eight (8) hours

before doing comparison tests. Factors such as

the amount of red blood cells in the blood (a high

or low hematocrit) or the loss of bodily uids

(severe dehydration) may also cause a meter

result to be different from a laboratory result.
