Important Information
Severe dehydration resulting from excessive water loss may cause false low results. If you believe you are suffering from
severe dehydration, consult a healthcare professional immediately.
Test results below 70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L) mean low blood glucose (hypoglycemia). Test results greater than 240 mg/dL
(13.3 mmol/L) mean high blood glucose (hyperglycemia). If you get results below 70 mg/dL or above 240 mg/dL, and do not
have symptoms, repeat the test once. If you have symptoms or continue to get results that fall below 70 mg/dL or above 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 results AND you have followed all the
instructions described in the LifeWatch V User Manual, call your healthcare professional.
A red blood cell count (hematocrit) that is either very high (above 55%) or very low (below 30%) can cause false results.
