Reported risk: Health Canada is advising Canadians who rely on blood glucose meters that some medical products may interfere with test results and lead to falsely elevated glucose readings. Diabetic patients who may be exposed to the medical products described below are encouraged to determine what type of meter they are using to better understand the reliability of their glucose readings. There are two types of glucose meters available on the Canadian market based on the test method they use: "glucose-specific" and "glucose non-specific." The manufacturer of your glucose meter can assist you in determining your model type.
