Warning: Your meter can show results either in “mg/dL” or “mmol/L” units. Mg/dL is the
typical unit used in the United States, please contact the manufacturer if your meter does
not display mg/dL when you turn it on. The factory set default for the meter is mg/dL. In the
event that the meter loses power or the batteries are changed, the factory set default is
mg/dL. It is very important to use the correct unit of measurement to properly manage your
diabetes. If you live in the United States, you should use mg/dL. If you are testing in mg/dL,
your results will never have a decimal point. If you use the metric system, you should use
mmol/L. Your result will ALWAYS have a decimal point.
