One early sense of the definition of art is closely related to the older Latin meaning, which roughly translates to skill or craft, as associated with words such as artisan.. English words derived from this meaning include artifact, artificial, artifice, medical arts, and military arts.
To be acceptable at least 95 percent of the results have to be within plus or minus 15 mg/dl at blood glucose levels below 100 mg/dl and within plus or minus 15 percent at blood glucose levels greater than or equal to 100 mg/dl. Ten of the 12 meters that Dr. Freckmann and his team evaluated met the higher standard.
What Do the Results of the Blood Glucose Test Mean? Normal fasting blood glucose -- or blood sugar -- is between 70 and 100 milligrams per deciliter or mg/dL for people who do not have diabetes. The standard diagnosis of diabetes is made when two separate blood tests show that your fasting blood glucose level is greater than or equal to 126 mg/dL. However, if you have normal fasting blood sugar, but you have risk factors for diabetes or symptoms of diabetes, your doctor may decide to do a glucose tolerance test (see below) to be sure that you do not have diabetes. Some people have a normal fasting blood sugar reading, but their blood sugar rapidly rises as they eat. These people may have impaired glucose tolerance. If their blood sugar levels are high enough, they may be diagnosed with diabetes.
