LO and HI Readings
Important:
Low or high blood glucose readings can indicate a potentially
serious medical condition. The FreeStyle Freedom™ Meter displays test
results from 20 to 500 mg/dL.
If your test result is lower than 20 mg/dL, LO will
appear on the meter display screen. This reading
indicates severe hypoglycemia (low blood glucose).
LO Reading
with
Symptoms
IF
you have a LO reading and have symptoms such
as weakness, sweating, nervousness, headache, or
confusion,
THEN
follow your doctor’s recommenda-
tions to treat hypoglycemia.
LO Reading
without
Symptoms
IF
you have a LO reading, but have no symptoms of low blood glucose,
THEN
retest with a new test strip on your fingers or palm (at the base
of the thumb). If you still have a LO reading, follow your doctor’s
recommendation to treat hypoglycemia.
If your test result is higher than 500 mg/dL, HI will
appear on the meter display screen. This reading
indicates severe hyperglycemia (high blood glucose).
HI Reading
with
Symptoms
IF
you have a HI reading and have symptoms
such
as fatigue, thirst, excess urination, or blurry vision,
THEN
follow your doctor’s recommendation to treat
hyperglycemia.
HI Reading
without
Symptoms
IF
you have a HI reading, but have no symptoms of high blood glucose,
THEN
retest with a new test strip. If you still have a HI reading, follow
your doctor’s recommendation to treat hyperglycemia.
