compare meter results with lab

how to compare meter and lab results.
TESTING
IMPORTANT: When proper procedures are followed, the meter will dis-
play “
” in virtually all cases when your result is above 27.8 mmol/L
(500 mg/dL). This indicates very high blood glucose (severe hyperglycemia).
Low and High Blood Glucose: Test results below 3.3 mmol/L (60 mg/dL)
i
mean low blood glucose (hypoglycemia). Test results greater than
13.3 mmol/L (240 mg/dL)
ii
mean high blood glucose (hyperglycemia). If
you get results below 3.3 mmol/L or above 13.3 mmol/L and you do not
have symptoms that match your results, repeat the test following the guide-
lines on pages 40 and 41 to ensure testing accuracy. You may also use the
Colour Chart (see pages 34 and 35). If you have symptoms that match your
results or if you continue to get results that fall below 3.3 mmol/L or above
13.3 mmol/L, follow the treatment advice of your healthcare professional.
