How accurate is the Livongo glucose meter?

Livongo meters registered blood glucose readings within 15% of the lab value 99% of the time (for readings > 75 mg/dL) and within 15 mg/dL 100% of the time (for readings < 75 mg/dL). To properly gauge meter accuracy we compare their results with those from a lab.

How accurate is a true Metrix meter?

Per the ISO 15197:2013 standard, acceptable system accuracy is met when 95% of individual TRUE METRIX® GO glucose test results fall within ±15 mg/dL of the YSI reference results at glucose concentrations <100 mg/dL, and within ±15% at glucose concentrations ≥100 mg/dL (Table 3).

What is a normal reading on a glucose meter?

Oral glucose tolerance test. A blood sugar level less than 140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L) is normal. A reading of more than 200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) after two hours indicates diabetes. A reading between 140 and 199 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L and 11.0 mmol/L) indicates prediabetes.

What is a good number for type 2 diabetes?

Fasting blood sugar test. Less than 100 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L) is normal. 100 to 125 mg/dL (5.6 to 6.9 mmol/L) is diagnosed as prediabetes. 126 mg/dL (7 mmol/L) or higher on two separate tests is diagnosed as diabetes.

Does glucometer give accurate results?

The data is shocking and alarming. To keep our blood sugar levels in check, we rely on glucose testing. But the thing is, these readings might be inaccurate sometimes. Though with the advancement in technology, modern meters have made inaccurate readings less common.

How do I know if my glucose meter is accurate?

Check your blood sugar level with your meter at the same time that blood is drawn for lab tests. Then compare your meter’s reading with the lab results. Results that are within 15 percent of the lab reading are considered accurate.

What causes false low blood sugar readings?

Accuracy may be limited due to strip manufacturing variances, strip storage, and aging. They may also be due to limitations on the environment such as temperature or altitude or to patient factors such as improper coding, incorrect hand washing, altered hematocrit, or naturally occurring interfering substances.
