5.6 Evaluating measured blood glucose values

Your blood glucose monitor can process measured values between 20 and 630 mg/dL (1.1 and 

35.0 mmol/L). The “ ” warning is displayed for measured values below 20 mg/dL (1.1 mmol/L). The 

“ ” warning is displayed for measured values above 630 mg/dL (35.0 mmol/L).

 Warning

• If you suspect that the blood glucose results are incorrect, first repeat the test and, if applicable, 

perform a functional test using control solution. Seek medical advice if dubious results persist.

•  Seek medical attention immediately if your symptoms do not correspond to your measured blood 

glucose values and you have followed all instructions for the Beurer GL50 blood glucose measuring 

system.

•  Do not ignore symptoms of too high/low blood glucose levels. Always seek medical attention!
