Blood glucose Tests
Unusual Blood glucose results
If your blood glucose result does not match how you feel, follow these steps:
1. Perform a control test. See Chapter 2, Control Tests.
2. Repeat the blood glucose test. See Chapter 4, Performing a Blood Glucose Test with Blood from Your
Fingertip.
If your blood glucose result still does not match how you feel, follow your healthcare professional’s instructions
or call your healthcare professional immediately.
NOTE
Always follow your healthcare professional’s instructions. For example, if your healthcare professional has
advised you to immediately treat a low blood glucose result (such as by eating something), then do that first.
Here is how to mark a test result and initiate a post-meal test reminder:
1. Perform a blood glucose test.
The blood glucose results appears on the display.
2. Leave the test strip in the meter. Press and release
to toggle through the test result markers and
post-meal test reminder.
3. When the marker or test reminder that you wish to select appears on the display, remove the test strip
from the meter.

• Do not change your treatment because of one blood glucose result.
