Check your blood sugar level with your meter at the same time that blood is drawn for lab tests, being sure to use a fingerstick sample, not blood from the blood draw. Then compare your meter's reading with the lab results. Results that are within 15% of the lab reading are considered accurate.

Are Home Glucose Meters Accurate? Home blood glucose meters are considered clinically accurate if the result is within 20% of what a lab test would indicate. For example, a glucose meter result of 100 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) could vary between 80 mg/dL and 120 mg/dL and still be considered accurate.

Calibrating a glucometer is easy and only takes a few minutes. First, make sure you have fresh batteries installed in the device before beginning the process. Then insert one of the test strips into the meter ing to its instructions and wait for it to display results on its screen or LCD monitor.

Your sensor needs to be calibrated at least 2 times a day (every 12 hours) or when you get a Calibrate now alert. Calibrating your sensor 2 or 3 times a day is a best practice and may help with sensor accuracy.

An active component in the test strip chemistry, called an enzyme, can be sensitive to temperature and humidity conditions. Temperature and humidity extremes can cause the enzyme activity to decrease and affect the accuracy of results.

To calibrate your CGM using finger-prick devices, follow these steps: Take a fasting (no food for eight or more hours) fingerstick test an hour after waking up before food, coffee, or exercise. ... Compare your reading on the CGM at roughly the same time.

Calibrating a glucometer is easy and only takes a few minutes. First, make sure you have fresh batteries installed in the device before beginning the process. Then insert one of the test strips into the meter ing to its instructions and wait for it to display results on its screen or LCD monitor.

The calibration process can vary per manufacturer and meter. Finally, your meter will need to match a calibration code with the number on the test strip vial. Some meters are the exception to this. For example, with an Accu-Chek meter, there's no need to code it, so you have fewer steps in glucose testing.

Your sensor needs to be calibrated at least 2 times a day (every 12 hours) or when you get a Calibrate now alert. Calibrating your sensor 2 or 3 times a day is a best practice and may help with sensor accuracy.

Glucometers must be calibrated to ensure accurate readings are provided to the person performing the test. While some glucometers can calibrate automatically, most will require the user to manually calibrate.

An active component in the test strip chemistry, called an enzyme, can be sensitive to temperature and humidity conditions. Temperature and humidity extremes can cause the enzyme activity to decrease and affect the accuracy of results.

A commonly asked question is “Why do my testing results vary meter to meter?” The answer simplified is that meters are tested for accuracy and must adhere to Self-Testing Blood Glucose Monitoring System ISO standard and US guidance, and can only vary by 15 percent compared to reference method.
