Accuracy
Acceptance criteria in ISO 15197: 2013 are that 95% of all differences in glucose values
(i.e., between reference method and meter) should be within ± 0.83 mmol/L for glucose
values less than 5.55 mmol/L, and within ± 15% for glucose values greater than or equal to
5.55 mmol/L.
User Accuracy
A study evaluating glucose values from fingertip capillary blood samples obtained by
218 lay persons showed the following results: 100% within ± 0.83 mmol/L of the medical
laboratory values at glucose concentrations below 5.55 mmol/L and 98.4% within ± 15% of
the medical laboratory glucose concentrations at or above 5.55 mmol/L.

Symptoms of High or Low Blood Sugar
Symptoms of High or Low Blood Sugar
You can better understand your test results by being aware of the symptoms of high or low
blood sugar. Some of the most common symptoms are:
Low blood sugar
(Hypoglycaemia):
High blood sugar
(Hyperglycaemia):
Ketones (Ketoacidosis):
• Shakiness
• Sweating
• Fast Heartbeat
• Blurred Vision
• Confusion
• Passing Out
• Irritability
• Seizure
• Extreme Hunger
• Dizziness
• Frequent Urination
• Excessive Thirst
• Blurred Vision
• Increased Fatigue
• Hunger
• Shortness of Breath
• Nausea or Vomiting
• Very Dry Mouth
