and a pre-meal glucose of less than 100 mg/dL*.

Unusual Test Results
If your test result does not match the way you feel, please follow these steps:
1. Run a control solution 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.
Note:
1. Extremely high humidity may affect the test results. A relative humidity greater than 90% may
cause inaccurate results.
2. Hematocrit below 30% may cause higher results. Hematocrit above 55% may cause lower
results.
