Important Information
• Severe dehydration and 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 60 mg/dL (3.3 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 60 mg/dL or above 240 mg/dL, and do not
have symptoms, first repeat the test. If you have symptoms
or continue to get results that fall below 60 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
instructions described in the OneTouch
®

Owner’s
Booklet, call your healthcare professional.
• A red blood cell count (hematocrit) that is very high (above
55%) or very low (below 30%) can cause false results.
