A member asked:
Can my meter mess up the blood glucose monitoring results?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: A meter can give you a false value, especially if it's old. If you get an unexpected result, it's a good idea to check it again before you act on it. You can check the accuracy of the meter by using the control solution that comes with it, or just check your blood through the meter right before getting your blood draw at the lab.
