Glucose Meters

Do home test meters typically test higher or lower w.r.t. lab results ? I understand that there is a margin of acceptable error and the results could also vary depending on the validity of the test strips, its storage and cleanliness of fingertips. My question is - do they typically tend to overstate or the results could go eitherway w.r.t. lab results ?
