UNDERSTANDING YOUR TEST RESULTS
Understanding Your Blood Glucose Test Results
Blood glucose values will vary depending on food intake, medication, health, stress,
and exercise. The ideal ranges for adults without diabetes are
2
:
• less than 5,6 mmol/l (100 mg/dL) before meals
• less than 7,8 mmol/l (140 mg/dL) after meals
It is important to consult with your physician or healthcare professional to determine
an appropriate target range for you.
What to do if you get a high or low blood glucose reading
If the meter displays results that are “HI” or “LO”, or you get a result that is more than
your high or low blood glucose threshold value and you feel ill:
• Treat your diabetes according to the instruction from your doctor and/or consult
with your healthcare provider.
• Test your meter and strips with the control solution - refer to the chapter “Control
Solution Testing”.
• Test again using fingertip blood with a new test strip. If you still get a high or low reading,
contact your healthcare professional immediately.
