Understanding Your Test Result

values are listed for an healthy adult.
Time of Day Expected Range, Non-Diabetes

Reference: American Diabetes Association Standards of Med-
ical Care in Diabetes.
Consult your healthcare professional to find out
your target blood glucose value.
If your blood glucose result seems unusually high
or low, or inconsistent with your previous results,
check the following:
1. Does the code number on the test strip vial
match the code number on the meter?
2. Was the blood sample applied to the test strip
immediately after the strip was removed from
the vial?
3. Was the size of the blood sample sufcient?
4. Was the test strip vial cap tightly sealed?
5. Was the test strip used before the expiration
date?
6. Were the test strips stored away from extreme
temperatures or from areas of high humidity?
Then run a quality control check with your GL™
Control Solution and a new test strip. If the control
test result is within the acceptable range, review
testing procedure and repeat your blood glucose
test with a new test strip. If your blood glucose
value is still inconsistent with your previous results,
contact your doctor immediately for help.
