Abstract
We investigated the effect of a 3-h time-lag between blood sampling and glucose measurement in type 1 diabetes. Blood glucose decreased by 0.47 mmol/L despite samples being collected in fluoride tubes and placed on ice. The extent of reduction differs among subjects, prevailing blood glucose and time-of-day of sample withdrawal.
