2.7 Symptoms of High or Low Blood Glucose
Being aware of the symptoms of high or low blood glucose can help you understand your test results and
decide what to do if they seem unusual. Hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia may include, but are not limited
to the following symptoms:
• High blood glucose (hyperglycemia): increased thirst, frequent urination, blurred vision, drowsiness,
and/or unexplained weight loss.
• Low blood glucose (hypoglycemia): anxiety, shakiness, sweating, headache, increased hunger, dizziness,
pale skin color, sudden change in mood or irritability, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, clumsiness,
palpitations, and/or confusion.
WARNING
• If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, test your blood glucose. If your blood glucose test
result is displayed as LO or HI, contact your healthcare professional immediately.
• The meter is designed to display blood glucose results from 20 to 600 mg/dL. If a result
below 20 mg/dL or over 600 mg/dL appears on the display, call ACCU-CHEK Customer Care
Service Center at 1-800-688-4578.
