Difference is the meter glucose minus the reference glucose value.

Absolute difference is the absolute value of the difference.

Relative absolute difference is the absolute difference divided by the reference value (expressed as a percentage).

§

ISO criteria: for reference glucose value ≤75 mg/dL meter value within ±15 mg/dL and for reference glucose value >75 mg/dL meter value within ±20%.
