Handheld blood glucose (BG) meters are convenient tools that are widely used to measure the BG levels. However, the hematocrit (Hct) value has been identified as a confounding factor for accurate BG measurement. Some BG meters are equipped with an Hct-correcting feature, whose effectiveness has been tested previously. Nevertheless, the measurements yielded by many BG meters are confounded by the Hct values. Recently, a new BG meter equipped with an Hct-correcting feature has been developed; however, its effectiveness has not yet been confirmed.
