How do you calibrate your glucose meter?
To calibrate, you must use a blood glucose reading from your blood glucose meter and enter that value into your pump. The pump will accept BG meter readings between 40 mg/dL and 400 mg/dL. Your continuous glucose monitoring system requires BG meter readings in order to provide you with sensor glucose readings.

Do glucometers have to be calibrated?
Calibration of a glucometer is, for example, required when using a new box of test strips or when checking for ketones, which requires different test strips. An important step in the process is ensuring that the calibration strip matches the code displayed on the glucometer and on the test strips in the box.
How to check if your glucose meter is accurate?
Check your blood sugar level with your meter at the same time that blood is drawn for lab tests, being sure to use a fingerstick sample, not blood from the blood draw. Then compare your meters reading with the lab results. Results that are within 15% of the lab reading are considered accurate.
