If the meter displays results that are “HI” or “LO,” or you get a result that is
more than 250 mg/dL or below 50 mg/dL AND you DO NOT feel ill:
• Test your meter with a control solution, refer to page 33, Control
Solution Testing.
• Test again using fingertip testing.
If you still get a high or low reading, contact your healthcare professional.
NOTE:
• Inaccurate results may occur in severely hypotensive individuals or
patients in shock.
• Inaccurate low results may occur for individuals experiencing a
hyperglycemic-hyperosmolar state, with or without ketosis.
• Critically ill patients should not be tested with blood glucose meters.
