Blood Glucose Tests
w WARNING
Blood glucose results can be displayed
in either mmol/L or mg/dL. The back
label of the meter shows the unit of
measurement. If the meter shows the
wrong unit, contact the Accu‑Chek
Customer Careline on 0800 701 000
(UK) or 1 800 709 600 (ROI). If you do
not know which unit of measurement is
correct for you, contact your healthcare
professional. Using the wrong unit of
measurement may cause
misinterpretation of your actual blood
glucose level and may lead to improper
therapy.

container. Do not use the test strips after
that date.
