[QUOTE="chrisonator70, post: 2198926, member: 518664"] Does that chart refer to venous or capillary blood? I ask this because all of the guidelines set by the WHO for diagnosing impaired glucose tolerance/diabetes are based on venous samples, while finger prick glucometers read capillary whole blood with an internal conversion to the equivalent plasma value. Capillary blood is significantly higher in glucose than venous blood after a meal. If that chart is based on venous blood, then a perfectly normal reading at 2 hours with a finger stick could be up to 9 or so. It's often difficult when researching guidelines to see whether they are referring to capillary or venous blood. The WHO is specifically referring to venous plasma in its glucose tolerance test guidelines. [/QUOTE]
