Good afternoon maybe it seems nonsense.But the other day I mediate the glucose before dinner and it came out 88, a figure that I had never had.I looked at her again and went to 120. He asked me if perhaps the drop of blood of the first measurement was too scarce.Thank you

It can be, there are strips that read badly.The capillaries are the most reliable and the ones that need less blood

The capillaries are those of the glucometer?

Yes, the capillaries are typical that a droplet of blood is used with the glucometer.

Thank you, then I use those and in the first measurement the reactive strip was filled, but before the result so under the medium again with the larger drop of blood.Maybe you have to get a minimum of volume
