Health Conditions Which Can Cause
Out–of–Range Results
If you are getting results outside your target
range and you believe the
OneTouch ®
SureStep ® Meter and OneTouch ® SureStep ®
Test Strips are working together properly,
ask yourself the following questions.
◆ “How do I feel?”
◆ “Do I have symptoms of low blood sugar
(hypoglycemia): slurred speech,
headache, tingling of lips, cool sweating,
rapid heartbeat, disorientation, weakness,
dizziness, fainting, hunger, nervousness,
irritability, or tremors?”
◆ “Do I have symptoms of high blood
glucose (hyperglycemia): fatigue, dry
mouth and skin, increased thirst or
hunger, blurry vision, increased urination,
rapid deep breathing, or a fruity smell to
the breath?”
◆ “What have I eaten?”
◆ “How much have I exercised?”
◆ “Am I ill (common cold, flu, etc.)?”
◆ “Have I been under stress lately?”
If your Healthcare Professional has not
already instructed you in dealing with these
situations, you should contact your
Healthcare Professional.
