[QUOTE="Alison Campbell, post: 1637807, member: 91555"] Are you comparing a doctor's fasting plasma glucose test when you were first diagnosed with your own home testing? Home meter's are not as accurate as lab tests. You cannot compare blood drawn from your arm with a finger prick drop of blood with a home meter. The testing technology process is different even though the measurements are the same. You also seem to be comparing your home average when a fasting lab test is just one snap shot in time. As other have said there a lots of things like sleep, stress, exercise even weather etc that can effect your levels. Even different batches of test strips can cause the small difference that you have mentioned. [/QUOTE]
