[QUOTE="smidge, post: 684181, member: 29301"] The capacity for error in a reading where blood is kept too long in the air before putting it on the test strip is surprisingly high. The meter cannot tell you there is a problem, but the reading cannot be trusted. The user manual that comes with the meter will tell you how long it is acceptable to subject blood to air for the purpose of BG testing. I read the Accuchek Mobile manual a long time ago and I can't remember the figure they gave, but I do remember being surprised at the level of inaccuracy introduced if you keep blood on your finger for more then a few seconds before putting it on the test strip. Your manual will tell you! Smidge [/QUOTE]
