LO and HI Readings

Important: Low or high blood glucose readings can indicate a potentially

serious medical condition. The FreeStyle® Lite Meter displays results from

20 to 500 mg/dL.
If your test result is lower than 20 mg/dL, LO will appear on the meter

display screen. This reading indicates severe hypoglycemia (low blood

glucose).

LO Reading with Symptoms

If you have a LO reading and have symptoms

such as weakness, sweating, nervousness,

headache or confusion, then follow your doctor’s

recommendation to treat hypoglycemia.

LO Reading without Symptoms

If you get a LO reading, but have no symptoms of low blood glucose,

then retest with a new test strip on your fingers. If you still get a LO

reading, follow your doctor’s recommendation to treat hypoglycemia.
If your test is above 500 mg/dL, HI will appear on the display screen.

This indicates severe hyperglycemia (high blood glucose).

HI Reading with Symptoms

If you feel symptoms such as fatigue, thirst, excess

urination, or blurry vision, then follow your

doctor’s recommendation to treat hyperglycemia.

HI Reading without Symptoms

If you get a HI reading, but have no symptoms of high blood glucose,

then retest with a new test strip. If you still get a HI reading, follow

your doctor’s recommendation to treat hyperglycemia.
