may have serious medical consequences. Consult the prescribing physician before making any
changes to diabetes medication plans if:
The blood glucose results are not consistent with the physical symptoms AND
•
you have ruled out common errors in technique.
The blood glucose result is less than 50 mg/dL (2.8 mmol/L) or greater than
•
300 mg/dL (16.7 mmol/L).
