Is there any difference between monitoring sugars of these two blood samples? Diabetics monitor blood sugar by glucometer from capillary blood. A diabetic patient at 12 pm has profuse cold sweating, pulse108, BP 150/ 84 mmHg. Blood sugar by glucometer monitoring was 76 mg%. Symptoms relieved by administering fruit juice and sweetened milk.
Blood sugar was 119 mg%. Normally hypoglycemia is labeled when blood sugar is below 70 mg%. Which blood sample is more reliable for measuring blood sugar?Is it hypoglycemia? Please enlighten on this case.
