Troubleshooting
The OneTouch® Select™ Meter displays messages when there are problems with the test strip, with the meter, or when your
blood glucose levels are higher than 600 mg/dL or lower than 20 mg/dL . Messages do not appear in all cases when a problem
has occurred. Improper use may cause an inaccurate result without producing an error message.
Message What it means What to do
You may have a very low blood glucose
level (severe hypoglycemia), lower
than 20 mg/dL.
This may require immediate
treatment according to your
health care professional’s
recommendations. Although this
message could be due to a test error,
it is safer to treat rst and then do
another test.
You may have a very high blood
glucose level (severe hyperglycemia),
over 600 mg/dL.
Re-check your glucose level. If the
result is HIGH GLUCOSE again, obtain
