[Diabetes-talk] Another question

[Mike Freeman]

All home meters read "whole blood". However, they are calibrated so that
their readings show up as they would appear were they using only plasma.
Laboratories use just the blood plasma.

As I say, nearly all meters now are calibrated to give plasma readings.
Methinks your doctor ought to know that.

Subject: [Diabetes-talk] Another question

the doctor asked me if my meter took all of the blood reading or just 
the plazmah.
he said this was just the edge of the blood work.
Now I don't know what he means by this, but someone might know.
How do I know what our meters do.
I got confused.
