Important Health-Related Information
Severe dehydration and excessive water loss may cause false low •
results. If you believe you are suffering from severe dehydration,
consult your physician immediately.
Test results below 3.3 mmol/L (60 mg/dL) mean low blood glucose •
(hypoglycaemia).
Test results greater than 13.3 mmol/L (240 mg/dL) mean high blood •
glucose (hyperglycaemia).
If you get results below 3.3 mmol/L (60 mg/dL) or above 13.3 mmol/L •
(240 mg/dL) and do not have symptoms of hypoglycaemia or
hyperglycaemia, repeat the test. If you have symptoms or continue to
get results that fall below 3.3 mmol/L (60 mg/dL) or above 13.3 mmol/L
(240 mg/dL), follow the treatment advice of your healthcare
professional.
If you are experiencing symptoms that are not consistent with your •
blood glucose test and you have followed all instructions described in
the FreeStyle Lite Owner’s Booklet, call your healthcare professional.
