One early sense of the definition of art is closely related to the older Latin meaning, which roughly translates to skill or craft, as associated with words such as artisan.. English words derived from this meaning include artifact, artificial, artifice, medical arts, and military arts.
To be acceptable at least 95 percent of the results have to be within plus or minus 15 mg/dl at blood glucose levels below 100 mg/dl and within plus or minus 15 percent at blood glucose levels greater than or equal to 100 mg/dl. Ten of the 12 meters that Dr. Freckmann and his team evaluated met the higher standard.
For example, if your glucose meter result was 100 mg/dL, it could vary on the downside to 80 mg/dL or on the up side to 120 mg/dL and still be considered clinically accurate. All blood glucose meters use whole blood to measure glucose. Whole blood is simply a blood sample that contains the red blood cells.
