How to take more accurate blood glucose meter readings:
1.) “…Notes for Context & Additional Observations
Average readings of two or three blood glucose readings were taken for each blood glucose data point. From discussions with blood meter manufacturers I’ve learned that blood glucose meters have a high variance in their readings, so when you want accurate results you need to take several readings depending on the variance of the readings (two readings if the first two readings are < 0.5 mmol apart, or three readings if they are over 0.5 mmol apart). Researchers I’ve spoken to also follow this protocol to normalize readings. …” https://thequantifiedbody.net/category/biomarkers/ketones-ketosis/
