Disposing of the used lancet and test strip
Discard the used lancet carefully after each use to avoid
unintended lancet stick injuries. Used lancets and test
strips may be considered biohazardous waste in your
area. Be sure to follow your healthcare professional's
recommendations or local regulations for proper disposal.
Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after
handling the meter, test strips, lancing device and cap.
Interpreting unexpected test results
Refer to the following cautions whenever your blood
glucose results are higher or lower than what you expect.
CAUTION:
Low blood glucose results
If your blood glucose result is below 3.9mmol/L or is
shown as EXTREME LOW GLUCOSE, (meaning the result
is less than 1.1mmol/L), it may mean hypoglycaemia
(low blood glucose). This may require immediate
treatment according to your healthcare professional's
recommendations. Although this result could be due to a
test error, it is safer to treat first, then do another test.
