your meter will beep in a high tone.
These messages indicate very high
blood sugar (severe hyperglycemia).
You should call your doctor immedi-
ately.
Test results below 3.3 mmol/L

mean low blood glucose
(hypoglycemia). Test results greater
than 13.3 mmol/L (240 mg/dL)

high blood glucose (hyperglycemia). If
you get results below 3.3 mmol/L or
above 13.3 mmol/L, and do not have

above 13.3 mmol/L, follow the treatment
advice of your healthcare professional.
IMPORTANT:
If you get a
hi danger

and your test result does not reflect
how you feel, follow the guidelines on
pages 52–53 to ensure testing accuracy.
