Page 42: Detailed Information
DETAILED INFORMATION Reference Values Blood glucose monitoring plays an important role in diabetes control. A long-term study showed that maintaining blood glucose levels close to normal can reduce the risk of diabetes complications by up to 60%* .

Page 43: Comparing Meter And Laboratory Results
Comparing Meter and Laboratory Results The meter provides you with plasma equivalent results. The result you obtain from your meter may differ somewhat from your labora- tory result due to normal variation. Meter results may be affected by factors and conditions that do not affect laboratory results in the same way. - Page 44 You may still have a variation from the result because blood glucose levels can change significantly over short periods of time, especially if you have recently eaten, exercised, taken medication or expe- rienced stress* . In addition, if you have eaten recently, the blood glucose level from a finger prick 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* .
