[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 639839, member: 12578"] Yes, It is as you might notice an 80 year old study, it's been known for a long time, The other thing to note is that you aren't using the same type of blood that is used for a laboratory test . At fasting, a finger stick reading using capillary blood is about the same as a fasting venous reading. After a glucose challenge though it can be very different with a much higher level in the capillary blood. (that's ignoring any potential errors from the meter or of course the meter operator) edit to save you reading the paper. Here is the graph, the subject was non diabetic. The higher reading reaches 200mg/dl which is 11.1mmol/l A good reason for following the instructions to eat a higher carb diet prior to the test[ATTACH]7090[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
