white pad.
■ Directly after the meter displays
a result, compare the colour of
the test strip confirmation dot with
the Colour Chart on the test strip
package (see pages 34 and 35).
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 follow-
ing 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 healthcare professional.
