Applying blood and reading results
CAUTION: Dehydration and low glucose results
You may get false low glucose results if you are severely dehydrated. If you
think you are severely dehydrated, contact your health care professional
immediately.
CAUTION: Low glucose results
If your test result is lower than 70 mg/dL or is shown as LOW GLUCOSE, it
may mean hypoglycemia (low blood glucose). This may require immediate
treatment according to your health care professional’s recommendations.
Although this result could be due to a test error, it is safer to treat first,
then do another test.
CAUTION: High glucose results
If your test result is higher than 180 mg/dL, it may mean hyperglycemia
(high blood glucose). If you are uncertain about this test result, consider
re-testing. Your health care professional can work with you to decide what
actions, if any, you should take if your results are higher than 180 mg/dL.
If your meter displays
HIGH GLUCOSE,
you may have a very high blood
glucose level (severe hyperglycemia) exceeding 600 mg/dL. Re-check your
glucose level. If the result is
HIGH GLUCOSE
again, this may indicate a severe
problem with your blood glucose control and it is important you obtain and
follow instructions from your health care professional without delay.
