  Fig. 1 Glucose level measurements in different concentrations of interferents. Glucose was added to blood at various concentrations: low (60 mg/dL), medium (126 mg/dL), and high (300 mg/dL). The X-axis represents the level of interferent, and the Y-axis represents the level of glucose. Experiments with vitamin C as an interferent are shown in (A), (B), and (C). Experiments with maltose are shown in (D), (E), and (F). Three models of glucose meters were evaluated: Accuchek Inform (Roche Diagnostics), Starstrip (Nova Biomedical), and Barozen H plus (i-SENS Inc.). Hitachi 7600 chemistry analyzer (Hitachi) was used for a benchmark comparison.
