Expected Results
Each patient should have specific blood glucose target ranges that are
determined by the Doctor or Diabetes Healthcare Professional. Having most
blood glucose results within the patient’s target range shows how well a
treatment plan is working to control glucose levels. Keeping results within the
patient’s target range helps slow or stop complications from diabetes.
Expected Results for people without diabetes

• Low blood glucose (hypoglycemia) symptoms may include
trembling, sweating, intense hunger, nervousness, weakness or
trouble speaking.
• High blood glucose (hyperglycemia) symptoms may include intense
thirst, a need to urinate often, a dry mouth, vomiting, or headache.
If the patient is showing any of these symptoms, check their blood glucose. If
any result seems higher or lower than expected, repeat the test with a new Test
Strip. Contact the Doctor or Diabetes Healthcare Professional with any unusual
results.
