A member asked:

Is fasting sugar test done from finger lower than that done from vein in elbow in a lab?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

~10% different.: The result from a fingerstick (whole blood) would generally be about 10% higher than the result from a blood draw which is then sent to the lab (serum).
