Mike, I've been told that if you are having your vet send blood out to a
lab you should spin it down and send just the serum. If you are doing
that, I think you should take a reading on some of the serum with your
home meter and write the number down. When the results come back from
the lab you can compare their reading with what you wrote down and have
a pretty good idea how much to correct your meter readings to be accurate.
