[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 691611, member: 94045"] Capillary blood comes straight from arteries. Venous blood is where the capillaries drain in to, so glucose in the blood reaches the capillaries before it reaches the veins. I believe that capillary blood is likely to be higher than venous blood, but this must depend on the amount of glucose in the blood to start with and therefore must vary from person to person and time of day, fasting, post prandial or whatever. Our tests done by the doctor from the veins is lab tested and therefore the more likely to be accurate and not + or - 15% as per our meters. [/QUOTE]
