Other Important Information for Healthcare
Professionals
The most accurate results come from using
fresh, capillary whole blood from the fingertip or
forearm. Venous whole blood drawn into EDTA
(purple top tube) or heparin (green top tube) may
be used. Mix tube contents gently before using.
When comparing results between TRUE2go and a
laboratory system, perform a TRUE2go blood test
within 30 minutes of laboratory test. Results from
TRUE2go are considered accurate if within 20%
of laboratory results. If patient has recently eaten,
5
fingerstick results from TRUE2go can be up to 70
mg/dL higher than venous laboratory results.

DO NOT perform capillary blood glucose testing
on critically ill patients. Capillary blood glucose
levels in critically ill patients with reduced peripheral
blood flow may not reflect the true physiological
state. Reduced peripheral blood flow may result
from the following conditions (for example):

• shock
• severe hypotension
• severe dehydration
• hyperglycemia with hyperosmolarity, with or
without ketosis.
