Steps before testing
2.2 Checking the unit of measurement for blood glucose
Blood glucose results can be displayed in two differ-
ent units (mg/dL or mmol/L). Two different versions of
the same meter are therefore available. Please check
if your meter displays the unit you are accustomed to.
You can nd the unit of measurement that your meter
displays on the type plate on the back of your meter.
If you do not know which is the right unit for you, ask
your doctor.
The unit of measurement that your meter
displays cannot be changed. If the wrong unit
is printed on the type plate, please consult
your dealer or pharmacy. A wrong unit of
measurement could lead to test results being
misinterpreted.
