MU Blood Glucose test strips are whole-blood referenced and calibrated for easier
comparison to lab results. The American Diabetes Association recommends a post-meal glucose level of less
than 180 mg/dL (10 mmol/L) and a pre-meal glucose of 70–130 mg/dL (3.88-7.22 mmol/L)*.

Unusual Test Results
If your test result does not match the way you feel, please follow these steps:
1. Run a control test, Chapter 2, "Control Solution Testing."
2. Repeat a blood glucose test, Chapter 3, "Testing Your Blood glucose."
3. If your test results still do not reflect the way you feel, call your doctor immediately.
1. Extremely high humidity may affect the test results. A relative humidity greater than 90%
may cause inaccurate results.
2. Hematocrit below 20% may cause higher results. Hematocrit above 60% may cause
lower results.
3. Some studies have shown that electromagnetic fields may affect results. Do not test
near an operating microwave oven.
