If you make multiple measures, take the average, or median. Or do only one measure and assume the real value is somewhere close to the reading (up to 15% up, or down).

If is shows 15 15% either way is high If it shows 5 you be close to it as 15% of 5 is only a small difference Even lab results for hba1c vary. There is no 100 percent accurate but they are good enough to guide you in the right direction
