[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 1625485, member: 196898"] Most home bgl testers are sensitive to Maltose and Malitol and some other sugar alcohols. These do not actually raise bgl, but throw the meter off calibration so it gives the appearance of a bgl spike. Check the test strip leaflet amd meter literature, and it will give some info. Manufacturers are aware of this and use different methods to reduce this sensitivty, so newer meters should be more robust. Some meter manufacturers have published this data in the report that demonstrated their meter design met the ISO standards snd CE mark tests. There are also some VDE test reports for the European market standards that will also show this since it is now one of the required tests since 2016, Edit to add: [URL]https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17723085[/URL] [/QUOTE]
