Understanding error and other messages
The OneTouch ® UltraMini ™ Meter displays messages when there are problems with the test
strip, with the meter, or when your blood glucose levels are higher than 600 mg/dL or
lower than 20 mg/dL . Messages do not appear in all cases when a problem has occurred.

blood glucose level
(severe hypoglycemia),
lower than 20
