FOR USERS HAVING PLASMA EQUIVALENT
CALIBRATED METER
This section refers only to users who have plasma equivalent calibrated
meter. If your meter is plasma equivalent calibrated, than "Plasma equiva-
lent calibration" is written on the label at the back side of your meter.
Laboratory blood glucose measurements can be made either from whole blood samples or
from plasma samples (liquid portion of blood without red blood cells). Both methods are
widely used, neither is more accurate than the other. However, there is a slight difference
between the results obtained from the two samples. Values of plasma measurements are
usually 10% to 15% higher than their whole blood equivalents. So if plasma result is 221
mg/dl, you may have your whole blood reading within the range of 190 mg/dl to 200 mg/dl.
Because of the slight difference, result values obtained from the different methods cannot be
simply compared.
