Important Health-Related Information
• Severe dehydration and excessive water loss may cause false low
results. If you believe you are suffering from severe dehydration,
consult your physician immediately.
• Test results below 60 mg/dL (3.3 mmol/L) mean low blood glucose
(hypoglycemia).
• Test results greater than 240 mg/dL (13.3 mmol/L) mean high
blood glucose (hyperglycemia).
• If you get results below 60 mg/dL or above 240 mg/dL, and do not
have symptoms of hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia (refer to pages
33 and 34), repeat the test. If you have symptoms or continue to
get results that fall below 60 mg/dL or above 240 mg/dL, follow
the treatment advice of your healthcare professional.
• If you are experiencing symptoms that are not consistent with
your blood glucose test
and you have followed all instructions
described in the FreeStyle Flash
™
Owner’s Booklet, call your
healthcare professional.
• Physiologic differences in the circulation between the finger or
palm (at the base of the thumb) and other test sites like the fore-
arm, upper arm, hand, thigh, and calf may result in differences in
blood glucose measurements from these test sites and your finger
or palm (at the base of the thumb). Differences in blood glucose
measurements between the other test sites and your finger or palm
(at the base of the thumb) may be observed after eating, insulin
medication, or exercise.
