My fasting sugar in glucometer 96 and when I test same time in Chughtai lab the result come 85. I’ve check it many times and results stand same 81 to 85.
Yesterday I eat lunch in murree and after 25 mints my results came at 1122 in glucometer 159 I was so shocked how comes it high and then after 20 mints I check by cmh on my vein and thats come 128.
Does glucosmeter results are higher then by laboratory and laboratory results are more better then?

Please dont worry. Glucometer reading is always 20% higher than Lab Method. As Glucometer Blood is Arterial while in Lab method is venous blood
