Health-Related Information
• Certain substances can interfere with the ACCU-CHEK Advantage blood glucose system and cause falsely
high results. For example, if you use peritoneal dialysis solutions containing icodextrin (such as EXTRANEAL),
or take certain immunoglobulin therapies that contain maltose (such as Octagam 5%), it will cause inaccurate
results. For more information, refer to the test strip package insert, or ask your doctor.
• Being severely dehydrated or losing a lot of water may give you false (low) test results. If you think you’re
suffering from dehydration, call your doctor right away.
• Some people with diabetes do not experience symptoms of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Others, such as
children or people who are unconscious or have certain disabilities, may not be able to communicate their
symptoms to caregivers. For these reasons, do not change any treatment without first talking to a doctor.
• Run a control test when you open a new box of test strips or if you think that your test result is incorrect.
Running a control test lets you know that the meter and test strips are working properly.
• DO NOT CHANGE YOUR TREATMENT BASED ON A SINGLE RESULT THAT DOES NOT MATCH HOW YOU FEEL
OR IF YOU BELIEVE THAT YOUR TEST RESULT COULD BE INCORRECT.
• If you have followed all the instructions in this booklet and still have symptoms that don’t seem to match your
test results – or if you have questions – talk to your doctor.
