  Diabetes Information - Glucose Meters and Diabetes Management
Glucose levels in plasma (one of the components of blood) are generally 10-15% higher than glucose measurements in whole blood (and even more after eating).
Third-party or "generic glucose reagent strips" are test strips developed as a less expensive option than the strips that the manufacturer intended the meter to be used with.
Meters are sensitive to these features of test strips and may not work well or consistently if they are not correct for a meter.

 Diabetes: Choosing and Using Your Glucose Meter - Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, Type 1, and Metabolic Disorders treatment ...
The process of monitoring one's own blood glucose with a glucose meter is often referred to as self-monitoring of blood glucose or "SMBG." To test for glucose with a typical glucose meter, place a small sample of blood on a disposable "test strip" and place the strip in the meter.
The test strips are coated with chemicals (glucose oxidase, dehydrogenase, or hexokinase) that combine with glucose in blood.
Many meters use "error codes" when there is a problem with the meter, the test strip, or the blood sample on the strip.
