1 The left three columns show the accuracy of results for blood sugars under 100 mg (5.5 mmol). 2  The right three columns show the accuracy for blood sugars over 100 mg (5.5 mmol). 3  There are columns showing how many of the tests were with 15%, 10% and 5%. For blood sugars over 75 mg (4.2 mmol): Accurate within 20%. 2  For example, if your blood sugar is 200 mg (11 mmol), the meter must read between 160 (8.8 mmol) and 240 (13.3 mmol) at least 95% of the time.
