What is the accuracy of glucose monitors?

I used my mother's One Touch Ultra to keep track of my glucose levels during test my time glucose tolerance 3. I wondered how accurate are compared with the blood in the laboratory. My last reading was a little bit of fun (my glucose level was 145 two hours and 3 was 149), so try again. He went from 149 to 127 (both adopted the same finger, left index finger to the hand), and then back to 137 (this time with the finger of his right index finger). After about 10 minutes later, before I eat, I used the source before, but finger (hand left middle finger), but I have a reading of 93! I am so confused and not know who to believe, is making me question my reading of others who took …

Yes, the glucose readings at home may vary slightly. But when differences are great, I wonder if the technique is the problem. There many different factors that can affect your results. Do you wash your hands before testing? Are you a dry cloth that has been all day? Are you hurt bathroom light switch to the exit? Even the smallest bit of sugar on your finger can send your numbers up. What I can do with my daughter Slide your finger with an alcohol swab immediately before testing to ensure that the place I'm taking the blood is 100% clean. If you decide to try, make sure the alcohol is completely dry before the finger prick. But also look at the hand takes the bottle with the band. Your best bet is to get your finger in the bottle and the fish of the band touch and drag the center. If you do not touch the ends, then you can be sure they do not contaminate the tape. Oh, and be sure not to touch the band of wet / damp hands. Moisture can also cause a false reading. So once you prick your finger, wipe the first little bit of blood coming make sure you have a new sample. Sometimes I do it twice. I use a square of toilet paper for that. Then, after you've finished, you can use the space to hold against your finger until it stops bleeding. Did you smear sample for insertion into the tape? You should try touching the tip of the strip to the drop of blood, and try not to slander against his finger. How can get the blood flowing? Do you press the tip of your finger? Pressing the tip of your finger to get the bleeding will often give you more than normal results. But there are techniques you can try. Try lowering the hand to the floor and place your other hand around his arm and act like you're pushing the blood from his arm down. The same technique works on the finger. I want my daughter's finger and gently press the base there and push a little. As long as you do not press so hard that put pressure on the finger that no should affect the outcome.
