After a hospital blood test I was told that my glucose level was 45 mmol/mol so, according to that figure, I was a moderate risk. However, I have been using a TEE2 instrument to measure my glucose level for about a year. This instrument is calibrated in mmol/L, so I have to convert. My calculation gave a reading of 36.1, which is 20% below the hospital result.
My readings are normally taken early morning - prior to any food/drink - whereas the hospital reading was taken 3 days later at 1.30 p.m.
Could this discrepancy cause such a difference in the readings?
