You tested at a temperature near the low end of the operating range 
which could result in a false high blood sugar.  
Repeat the test in a warmer environment with a new test strip as soon as 
possible. 

For additional information on possible limitations for accuracy on 
precision, please refer to your test strip insert.

In order to make the most accurate comparison to your laboratory 
results. Please follow a few basic guidelines:

Before going to the lab

- Do not eat for at least two hours before you test your blood.
- Perform a control solution test to make sure the meter is 
  working properly.
- Take your meter with you to the lab.

While at the lab

- Follow all instructions in this owner's booklet for performing a 
   blood sugar test with your meter.
- Conduct your meter test within 15 minutes of lab test.
- Use only fresh, capillary blood obtained from the fingertip.

You may still experience a difference from the laboratory test results 
because blood sugars can change very rapidly over a short period of 
time. This can be for a variety of reasons, such as; exercise, medication, 
stress or loss of body fluids.
