RESULTS
(50 mg/dL), conduct a Control Solution
Test (see “
Checking The System”). If
the Control Solution test indicates that
your meter and test strips are working
together properly, repeat your blood
glucose test with a new test strip. If
you continue to receive a very low
blood glucose test result, the low glu-
cose result is likely to be correct and
you should follow your Healthcare
Professional’s advice for treating low
glucose levels. If the Control Solution
test is out of range, call LifeScan
Customer Services (1-800-227-8862).
I MPORTANT: When proper procedures are
followed, the meter will display “
HI” in virtu-
ally all cases when your result is above 500
mg/dL (27.8 mmol/ L). The confirmation dot
color will also be darker than the “350
mg/dL” sample color dot on the test strip
bottle label. This indicates very high blood
glucose (severe hyperglycemia). Follow the
advice of your Healthcare Professional. If
you have never experienced blood glucose
levels this high or have not been instructed
in how to deal with them by your Healthcare
Professional, you should contact your
Healthcare Professional at once.
How to Check if Your
Meter is Working Correctly
The easiest way to check if your meter and
test strip are working together properly is to
run a test with
OneTouch ® SureStep ®
Glucose Control Solution. See Checking the
System for more information.
