Lab test vs glucose meter

2022-10-17 07:06:11
I measured fasting blood sugar at home, it was 145 using glucose meter. On the same time I went to a reputated laboratory in my town and measured my fasting blood test. Fasting was 81 and Hba1c was 4.7. Am I diabetic??? What is the reason for such difference in test results
