I feel they are accurate to an extent, I just don't know what it is.

I have always wondered about the accuracy of these measurements when they ask us to fast before talking them unless you fast with some regularity.
I do like the cholesterol history you can look at if you have donated at One Blood for a while. They will show you the last ten counts of your cholesterol. Mine show a good range in the healthy measurements.
