If the test is above 750 mg/dL (41 .7 mmol/L), HI
will appear on the display screen . This indicates

control is within range, then retest with a new
test strip . If a HI reading is again displayed,
follow a veterinarian/veterinary surgeon’s
recommendation to treat hyperglycemia/
hyperglycaemia .

control is within range, then retest with a new
test strip . If a LO reading is again displayed,
