4 Checking Your Blood Glucose
How the PDM reports blood glucose results
When the PDM displays your blood glucose reading, it adds a warning message
for high and low results.
Blood glucose result Screen display Screen warning message
Above 27.8 mmol/L HIGH Check for ketones!
13.9-27.8 mmol/L BG reading Check for ketones!
3.9-13.9 mmol/L BG reading
1.1-3.9 mmol/L BG reading Treat your low BG!
0-1.1 mmol/L LOW Treat your low BG!
The PDM records BG readings above 27.8 as "HIGH" and BG readings below 1.1
as "LOW." HIGH and LOW readings are saved in your BG history , but are not
used in averages or other numerical calculations.
Warning: "LOW" or "HIGH" blood glucose readings can indicate a
potentially serious condition requiring immediate medical attention. If left
untreated, these situations can quickly lead to diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA),
shock, coma, or death. Consult your healthcare provider for how to treat high
and low blood glucose levels.
Using BG Meter
You can measure your blood glucose using a separate BG meter and then use the
PDM to deliver a bolus. You can also save this blood glucose reading in the PDM's
BG history records.
To bolus
If you want to deliver a bolus when using a separate BG meter, go to "Delivering a
Bolus of Insulin" on page 47. The blood glucose value you enter during the bolus
process will be saved to your history records at that time.
To enter your blood glucose reading without bolusing
1. Check your blood glucose following the instructions included with your
separate BG meter.
2. Turn on your PDM, if necessary, and navigate to:
