[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 1022951, member: 196898"] All I was suggesting is that as this subthread covers blood monitoring, then it was the first place I would tend to look, but I don't want to wade through pages of posts to find this basic info. I suggested it as a sticky so it is easy to find, and yes, maybe it is just a set of links as you have provided here. The subject of whole blood vs plasma has been raised in several threads, and not just by me, and there seems to be a lack of knowledge in the responses. I think that it becomes a whole blood calibration issue where a meter is designed to allow alternate site testing, but it is not made clear, and also the BGL range data limit info published for Newbies here on this forum does not acknowledge that some meters will read high by a factorof 1.2 I suspect my SD Codefree is whole blood since it consistently reads high, andI think my old XCEED meter suffered the same problem (both my XCEEDs read about 3 mmol high.) There is nothing in the literature that mentions whole blood, but I think all the ones I have mentioned can do alternate site tests. When I compare my SD against my Hba1c, then on both occasions it read around 1.4 mmol higher than the plasma equivalent on two occasions now. [/QUOTE]
