Blood Glucose test strips are plasma referenced and calibrated for easier
comparison to lab results. The normal fasting blood glucose range for an adult without diabetes
is 70-110 mg/dL (3.88~6.11 mmol/L).
Two hours after meals, the blood glucose range for an
adult without diabetes is less than 120 mg/dL (6.66 mmol/L).
For people with diabetes: please
consult your doctor for the blood glucose range appropriate for you.
Unusual Test Results
If your test result doesn’t match the way you feel, please follow these steps:
1. Run a control test, Chapter 2, "Control Solution Testing."
2. Repeat a blood glucose test, Chapter 3, "Testing Your Blood glucose."
3. If your test results still don’t reflect the way you feel, call your doctor immediately.
1. Extremely high humidity may affect the test results. A relative humidity
greater than 90% may cause inaccurate results.
2. A red blood cell count (Hematocrit) that is either very high (above 55%) or
very low (below 30%) may not provide accurate results.
3. Some studies have shown that electromagnetic fields may affect results. Do
not test near an operating microwave oven.
