Low or High Results
You have low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) if:
◆ Your meter result is 60 mg/dL
(3.3 mmol/L) or below.
◆ The color dot comparison shows approxi-
mately 50 mg/dL (very low).
You have high blood sugar (hyperglycemia)
if:
◆ Your meter result is 180 mg/dL
(10 mmol/L) or greater.
◆ The color dot comparison shows approxi-
mately 350 mg/dL (very high).
If you have symptoms that match your test
results, or if you continue to get results that
fall below 60 mg/dL or above 180 mg/dL
when you repeat the test, follow the advice
of your Healthcare Professional.
C AUTION:
◆ If your meter result is very low, 20 mg/dL
or less, and you do not have symptoms
of low blood glucose, remove the test
strip from the meter and look at the con-
firmation dot on the back of the test
strip. You should do one of the following
depending on the color of the confirma-
tion dot on the test strip:
■ If the confirmation dot is not com-
pletely blue or has white patches or
white streaks (see “How To Test
Your Blood”), repeat the test with a
new test strip. If the problem con-
tinues, call LifeScan Customer
Services (1-800-227-8862)
.
■ If the confirmation dot is completely
blue, compare the confirmation dot to
the sample color dots on the Color
Chart of the test strip label on the bot-
tle. If this comparison indicates that
your blood glucose is very low
