Haemoglobin level was low while tested using hb meter device. While the blood report from lab test shows within normal range. Can someone please tell me how accurate is testing haemoglobin level using hb meter device vs lab test? Are the values subject to change due to time of day? How can I ensure which one is accurate?

Hi it depends on which lab you got this test done. Go for a nabl accredited laboratory and when in doubt get it done in two laboratories.

Home testing offers many benefits, but it's also important to recognize the potential tradeoffs between quality and convenience and to take steps to protect yourself against the possibility of false results, and your own lack of training. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
