Can I compare results obtained using a sample from my arm with a result from a sample obtained using arm or finger with a different meter?
Assessing meter system accuracy by comparing results from two different meters is not recommended since neither device can be considered a true reference value. It is recommended that comparisons be done directly with a laboratory test and a blood glucose test using a sample from either the finger or the arm with the meter you use most often.
