I checked my blood glucose at home shortly before a lab appointment, and the two readings were noticeably different. They weren’t taken at exactly the same moment, but the gap was large enough to leave me unsure how to interpret either result.
How much variation can come from timing, the meter and strips, or the way a sample is collected? I’m looking for context on home glucose meter accuracy and what details are worth sharing with a clinician—not a way to diagnose myself from one reading.
