Symptoms of High or Low Blood Glucose
Symptoms of High or Low Blood Glucose
You can better understand your test results by being aware
of the symptoms of high or low blood glucose.
According to the American Diabetes Association, some of
the most common symptoms are:
3
Low blood glucose
(Hypoglycaemia):
•
shakiness
•
sweating
•
fast heartbeat
•
blurred vision
•
confusion
•
passing out
•
seizure
•
irritability
•
extreme hunger
•
dizziness
High blood glucose
(Hyperglycaemia):
•
frequent urination
•
excessive thirst
•
blurred vision
•
increased fatigue
•
hunger
Ketones (Ketoacidosis):
•
shortness of breath
•
nausea or vomiting
•
very dry mouth
Information For Safety
For additional information and a complete list of symptoms,
contact your health care professional.
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms,
test your blood glucose. If your test result is
under 2.8 mmol/L or above 13.9 mmol/L, contact
your health care professional immediately.

System Specifi
cations
Test Sample:
Venous, arterial or capillary whole blood
Test Result:
Referenced to plasma/serum glucose
Sample Volume:
0.6 μL
Measuring Range:
0.6 – 33.3 mmol/L
Results:
5-second countdown
Memory Feature:
Stores most recent 250 test results
Battery Type:
One 3-volt lithium battery, 225 mAh capacity
(DL2032 or CR2032)
Battery Life:
Approximately 1000 tests (1 yr. average use)
Operating Temperature Range:
Humidity:
10% – 93% RH
Dimensions:
71 mm (H) x 60 mm (W) x 19 mm (T)
Weight:
56.7 grams
Sound:
A beep sounds whenever a test strip is inserted into the
meter, when the test strip is filled with blood or control
solution, or when a test result appears on the display
screen. Two beeps will sound for an error. To turn off the
sound, see Setting the Sound on page 19.
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC):
The C
ONTOUR
®
TS meter
complies with the electromagnetic requirement specified in
ISO 15197:2013. Electromagnetic emissions are low and unlikely to
interfere with other nearby electronic equipment, nor are emissions
from nearby electronic equipment likely to interfere with the
C
ONTOUR
TS meter. The C
ONTOUR
TS meter meets the
requirements of IEC 61000-4-2 for immunity to electrostatic
discharge. Avoid use of electronic devices in very dry environments,
especially if synthetic materials are present. The C
ONTOUR
TS meter
meets the requirements of IEC 61326-1 for radio frequency
interference. To avoid radio frequency interference, do not use the
C
ONTOUR
®
TS meter near electrical or electronic equipment that are
sources of electromagnetic radiation, as these may interfere with the
proper operation of the meter.
