Some meters are calibrated to somehow estimate a plasma blood reading from the whole blood finger prick, to bring it in line with a venous blood test. You should find whether this applies to your meter in the technical specifications somewhere. If one is a Codefree or Accuchek Mobile, they are both calibrated to convert the reading to a plasma one.  Whole blood readings (finger pricks) are around 12% lower than plasma readings (venous tests)<a href="http://www.diabetes.co.uk/whole-blood-readings-to-plasma-converter.html" target="_blank">http://www.diabetes.co.uk/whole-blood-readings-to-plasma-converter.html</a></blockquote>
