How accurate are blood glucose monitors?

Not all blood glucose monitors in Canada were created equally, but Felix and our pharmacy partners have worked hard to find a blood glucose monitor and test strips in Canada that are as accurate as possible.

The general guidelines used for blood glucose monitors is that they are required to be within 15% accuracy as the same test performed in a lab.

This means they aren’t as accurate as having blood work done by a lab, but considering the convenience and speed an at-home blood sugar monitor or test kit in Canada provides you, it can still offer valuable insight and benefits on your daily diabetes management journey.
