The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the accuracy and usability of the blood glucose meter in untrained participants, both with or without diabetes, as well as those with pre-diabetes.
Participants will personally date and sign the informed consent before engaging in any study-related activity. Participants use a single-use lancing device to lance their finger and perform a blood glucose test with glucose test strips on the meter. Trained staff collects more blood samples for YSI and hematocrit measurement (approx. 300-350μL) using a specified lancet within 5 minutes of the first evaluable meter reading. Follow the same process to measure Ketones using the β-Ketone test strip on the same meter. The staff collects more blood samples for Imola and hematocrit measurement (approx. 500-550μL). After subjects have completed the testing, they are then asked to complete usability questionnaires.

All BG results were compared to YSI 2300 reference method results obtained from subjects' capillary blood. All Ketone results were compared to Randox Imola D-3-Hydroxybutyrate analyzer.

Hematocrit Measurement
The subject's hematocrit measurement should be within the range of 20-60% for the result to be considered evaluable. Two consecutive measurements are taken, and it determinds the analytical validity of a blood sample by the average value.
Time frame: The blood sample is immediately collected for hematocrit measurement within 5 minutes of the first evaluable BG meter reading and then, centrifuge the sample within 10 minutes of sample collection.
Glucose Testing of Subject Plasma Samples
The subject capillary plasma samples will be tested in duplicate. If the average of replicates 1\&2 do not fall within range (within 4% for readingsabove100mg/dL or 4 mg/dL for samples less than or equal to 100mg/dL) the sample will be run a third time and the 2 average replicate readings that fall within range (4% for readings above 100mg/dL or 4 mg/dL for samples less than or equal to 100mg/dL) will be recorded as evaluable. In general, duplicates will be averaged for each subject. If the sample is insufficient or missing and have only a single YSI value, it will be used as the YSI determination. If none of the 3 average replicates fall within (4% for readings above 100mg/dL or 4 mg/dL for samples less than or equal to 100mg/dL) will be recorded as non-evaluable. If the YSI autocals between subject sample duplicates, then another YSI 2747 standard will be run before completing the subject sample cycle.
Time frame: Within 20 minuates of centrifugation
β-Ketone Testing of Subject Plasma Samples
The subject capillary plasma sample will be tested in duplicate using Rx Imola analyzer. If the measured values differ by \> 0.075 mmol/L at ketone \< 1.5 mmol/L or \> 5% at ketone ≥ 1.5 mmol/L, the sample will be run a third time and the 2 average replicate readings that fall within range will be recorded as evaluable. In general, duplicates will be averaged for each subject. If the sample is insufficient or missing and has only a single Rx Imola value, it will be used as the Rx Imola determination. If none of the 3 average replicates fall within \> 0.075 mmol/L at ketone \< 1.5 mmol/L or \> 5% at ketone ≥ 1.5 mmol/L for readings, it will be recorded as non-evaluable.
