result, compare the color of the
test strip confirmation dot with
the Color Chart on the test strip
package (see pages 32–33).
Health Conditions Causing
Out-of-Range Results
If you are getting results outside
your range of expected blood
glucose levels, and you are certain
that the SURESTEP
® Meter and
SURESTEP ® Test Strips are working
together properly, ask yourself the
following questions:
“How do I feel?”
“Do I have symptoms of low blood
glucose (hypoglycemia): slurred
speech, headache, tingling of lips,
cool sweating, rapid heartbeat,
disorientation, weakness, dizziness,
fainting, hunger, nervousness,
irritability, or tremors?”
IMPORTANT:
If you have followed the tips
to ensure accuracy and your
blood glucose results are still
out-of-range, call your health-
care professional.
