Important Health-Related Information
WARNINGS!
•
Severe dehydration and excessive water loss may cause false
low results. If you believe you are suffering from severe dehy-
dration, consult your healthcare provider immediately.
•
Test results below 70 mg/dL mean low blood glucose (hypo-
glycemia).
•
Test results greater than 250 mg/dL mean high blood
glucose (hyperglycemia).
•
If you get results below 70 mg/dL or above 250 mg/dL, but
do not have symptoms of hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia
(see Chapter 9, Living with Diabetes), repeat the test. If you
have symptoms or continue to get results that fall below 70
mg/dL or above 250 mg/dL, follow the treatment advice of
your healthcare provider.
•
If you are experiencing symptoms that are not consistent
with your blood glucose test and you have followed all
instructions described in this
User Guide
, call your healthcare
provider immediately.
•
Blood circulation is different between the finger or palm (at
the base of the thumb) and other test sites like the forearm,
upper arm, hand, thigh, and calf. You may see differences in
blood glucose measurements between the other test sites
and your finger or palm (at the base of the thumb) after eat-
ing, insulin medication, or exercise.
•
You may see changes in blood glucose in blood samples
from the finger or palm (at the base of the thumb) sooner
than in blood samples from the forearm and other alternate
sites. Vigorous rubbing of the alternate test sites before lanc-
ing helps to minimize these differences.
•
Intravenous therapy solutions such as some immunoglobu-
lin preparations and peritoneal dialysis solutions containing
icodextrin or compounds of Galactose
≥
13 mg/dL, Maltose
≥
20 mg/dL, or Lactose
≥
10 mg/dL can cause overestimation
of blood glucose results.
•
Do not use during xylose-absorption testing.
•
The lancing device is for individual use only and must not be
shared.
