TESTING YOUR BLOOD GLUCOSE
Error messages
If you get an

in Section 7.
Unexpected test results
Refer to these cautions
whenever your results are lower than, higher than, or otherwise not what you expect.
Read your result on the meter
Your blood glucose level appears on the display, along with the unit of
measurement, and the date and time of the test. Blood glucose results are
automatically stored in the meter’s memory.
CAUTION:
If you test at the low end of the operating range (6–44
°
C) and your glucose is high (over 10.0 mmol/L), the
reading on your meter may be lower than your actual glucose. In this situation, repeat the test in a warmer environment
with a new test strip as soon as possible.
WARNING: If mmol/L does not appear with the test result, call OneTouch® Customer Care 0800 121200 (UK)
or 1800 535676 (Ireland). Use of the wrong unit of measurement may cause you to misinterpret your blood
glucose level, and may lead to incorrect treatment.
