“HI” and “LO” Messages
The meter can accurately measure blood glucose concentrations between 0.6 to
33.3 mmol/L (10 to 600 mg/dL). “HI” and “LO” messages indicate results outside of
this range.
If “HI” appears on the display, the measured concentration value is above
33.3 mmol/L (600 mg/dL). The test should be retaken to ensure that no mistake
was made in the procedure. If you are certain the meter is functioning properly and
no mistakes were made in the procedure, and your blood glucose is still
consistently measured as “HI”, it indicates severe hyperglycemia (high blood
glucose). You should contact your healthcare professional immediately.
If “LO” appears on the display, the measured concentration value is below
0.6 mmol/L (10 mg/dL). The test should be retaken to ensure that no mistake was
made in the procedure. If you are certain the meter is functioning properly and no
mistakes were made in the procedure, and your blood glucose is still consistently
measured as “LO”, it may indicate severe hypoglycemia (low blood glucose). You
should treat yourself for hypoglycemia immediately as recommended by your
healthcare professional.
